The reasons for several red lights staying on after a car's self-check are: 1. Leakage of vehicle oil, brake fluid, gasoline, or coolant; 2. Malfunction of the vehicle's braking system; 3. Air leakage in the air pump or air reservoir; 4. Abnormal tire pressure; 5. Loose tire fastening screws; 6. Malfunctioning turn signals, brake indicator lights, lighting, wipers, or horn. The normally lit indicator lights after a car's self-check include: 1. Engine fault light: used to display the working status of the engine, with a yellow color; 2. EPC: the indicator light for the engine electronic stability system; 3. Battery indicator light: used to display the working status of the car battery, with a red or yellow color; 4. Handbrake warning light: used to remind whether the handbrake is released; 5. Seat belt warning light: reminds occupants to fasten their seat belts.

What does tolerating one violation operation equal to?

Tolerating one violation operation is equivalent to giving the green light to ten accidents. Vehicle violations: Vehicle violations refer to acts that violate road traffic safety laws and traffic management regulations. For example, motor vehicles and pedestrians violating traffic management rules and regulations, as well as organizations, groups, enterprises, schools, and other entities or individuals occupying roads without approval from public security authorities for setting up stalls, parking vehicles, piling materials, constructing sheds or houses, conducting market trade, and other activities that obstruct traffic all constitute vehicle violations. Ways to avoid vehicle violations: Familiarize yourself with traffic regulations; master driving skills proficiently to expand your field of vision, avoid being distracted and flustered, and clearly see traffic police and surveillance cameras; do not speed—you can also use safety driving systems like navigators for speed alerts; frequently check maps to familiarize yourself with routes and reduce the likelihood of detours; develop the habit of checking violation records online, promptly inquire and handle vehicle violations to avoid failing the annual vehicle inspection.

How to Determine the Severity of Undercarriage Scraping?

Methods to determine the severity of undercarriage scraping are: 1. Use a jack to lift the car and check if there are any scratches or damage to the undercarriage. If it's just paint chipping on the steel plate, applying some touch-up paint will suffice. If pipes are damaged, take the car to a 4S shop for inspection and repair; 2. If there is no major damage to the undercarriage, you can judge by driving the car. If the car does not make abnormal noises or deviate from its path after the undercarriage is scraped, and the warning lights do not come on, then the car is fine; 3. If none of the above issues occur but you are still concerned, you can go to a 4S shop for a detailed inspection. As the saying goes, a bad car starts with a bad undercarriage. The undercarriage is not exposed to sunlight and is greatly corroded and damaged by road dust and water. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the protection and avoidance of damage to the undercarriage.
