The reasons for front tire cupping are: 1. Inaccurate four-wheel alignment, causing tire scrubbing when wheels on the same side operate or when front and rear wheels are misaligned; 2. Incorrect toe adjustment; 3. Steering gear failure; 4. Uneven or deformed chassis frame; 5. Mixing tires of different specifications with significant air pressure differences. Tire cupping refers to abnormal accelerated wear on the inner or outer side of one or several tires, where certain parts wear much faster than other tires. During tire inspection, you can clearly observe that the tread wears faster than other tires or the opposite side of the same tire, quickly leading to uneven wear and rendering the tire unusable.

Does a car in its ninth year need to undergo an on-line inspection?

A car in its ninth year does not need to undergo an on-line inspection. According to national regulations, for non-operational small and mini passenger cars (excluding minivans) that are over 6 years old but less than 10 years old, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from once a year to once every two years. Therefore, a car in its ninth year does not require an on-line inspection. Below is an introduction to on-line inspections: Introduction to on-line inspections: An on-line inspection refers to the vehicle needing to go through an inspection line to test various indicators of the car. Only those that pass will be issued an annual inspection sticker. Non-on-line inspections refer to special vehicles that do not meet the conditions for on-line inspections and can instead use road tests to assess the safety performance of various data. Since the implementation of the exemption policy for non-operational vehicles within 6 years, vehicles that have not been inspected before cannot enjoy the exemption policy and still need to undergo inspections at inspection institutions according to the original regulations. Parts inspected during on-line inspections: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their auxiliary equipment are complete and functional, whether the paint is evenly applied and aesthetically pleasing, whether major components have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records. Inspect whether the vehicle has been modified, altered, or transformed, whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle, whether there have been any changes, and whether approval and alteration or modification procedures have been completed. Check whether the vehicle license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate print on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or unclear, and whether they need to be replaced. Inspect whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, and other safety performances meet the requirements of the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles."

What does it mean when 'check' is displayed on a car?

When 'check' is displayed on a car, it refers to the engine indicator light, which shows the working condition of the vehicle's engine. It is normal for the indicator light to turn on and then automatically turn off. If it stays on, it indicates a mechanical fault in the vehicle's engine that requires repair. If not addressed promptly, it may affect the normal operation of the engine. As long as the engine fault light is on, it means there is an issue with a certain component of the car. However, if the car can still move, it suggests that the problem is not particularly severe, as a red light would indicate a more serious fault, whereas the engine fault light is yellow. After the engine fault light comes on, it is advisable to avoid long-distance driving and to drive to the nearest repair station for inspection and repair as soon as possible, to prevent a minor temporary issue from developing into a major problem.

What does a car with an 'off' mean?

A car with an 'off' refers to the button for turning off the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which is enabled by default. Pressing and holding this button can deactivate the system. ESP is an active safety feature designed primarily to prevent the vehicle from skidding or fishtailing. If the ESP OFF light illuminates on the car, it indicates that the vehicle's stability control system is either turned off or malfunctioning. In vehicles equipped with ESP, the system is automatically enabled upon starting the car. The ESP OFF button is rarely used during normal driving and is only pressed under specific circumstances.
