What are the pre-departure vehicle inspection items?
1 Answers
Drivers should inspect the following items before departure: check the exterior of each tire for damage, ensure tire and spare tire pressure is normal, and verify that tire nuts are not loose; inspect the condition of doors, engine hood, trunk lid, and vehicle glass for normal operation. Inside the cabin, check: ensure rearview mirrors are clean and properly adjusted; test the brakes by pressing and holding the brake pedal to confirm proper connection; verify the functionality of lights and horn; check that documents, license plates, and onboard tools are complete; ensure passengers are safe, doors and windows are closed, and surroundings are secure. Additional information: 1. Inspect tire and spare tire condition: Tire inspection primarily involves visual examination and manual inspection of the tire surface to identify potential hazards that could lead to a blowout. 2. Check brake condition: To inspect brakes, first examine the thickness of the brake pads. If severe wear is observed and wear marks appear on the brake disc, new brake pads should be replaced promptly.
