GAC GS4 Equipment & Trim Verification for Dealers

Turn a trim request into a feature list

Ask your customer which equipment changes the purchase decision. Parking cameras, seat functions, roof configuration and charging connections may matter more than the translated trim name. Divide the list into required and preferred items, then request evidence for each required function. This makes it easier to evaluate another version without starting the discussion again. Use the naming guide to anchor the list to the right vehicle.

Distinguish appearance from working equipment

A button, sensor housing or screen icon suggests a feature may be present; it does not establish correct operation. Where practical, ask for an appropriate demonstration and a clear explanation of any feature that could not be tested. Photographs should show the actual candidate. An image copied from a brochure cannot confirm what was fitted to a particular car or whether a previous owner altered it.

Treat assistance features as specific systems

If a buyer requires a driver assistance function, record its original system name and the circumstances in which it was checked. Do not describe assistance as autonomous driving or infer availability from the number of visible sensors. Ask about warning messages and relevant repair information where available. Any limitations should accompany the evidence, especially when the vehicle has had body repairs or the sensor area has been disturbed.

Check comfort functions with ordinary users in mind

Seat adjustment, rear ventilation, roof operation and cabin controls need a practical review. A feature that exists on paper may not meet the customer’s particular seating or climate needs. Ask for simple demonstrations and cabin views rather than a broad assurance that the vehicle has everything. The cabin and luggage checks help translate those needs into usable requests for the seller or inspector.

Preserve exceptions in the final offer

If the candidate lacks a requested feature, identify the omission before price agreement. Do not assume an aftermarket addition will behave like the original system or preserve all related functions. Describe any accepted addition and its support arrangements separately. Keep unresolved software questions in the connected-function review and record the accepted equipment list with the vehicle reference so it remains traceable when the car is handed over.

For example, a customer who requires a parking camera should specify whether the requirement is a basic reversing view or another particular function. Ask for a demonstration of that function on the candidate. Record the result beside the vehicle reference so the salesperson and receiving team use the same description.

An accepted exception should be expressed plainly, such as a requested seat feature being absent. Avoid hiding an exception in a general trim description or allowing a preference selected early in the enquiry to be mistaken for a confirmed feature.
