Statutory vehicle inspection is a national regulation. In fact, during regular maintenance, 4S shops will conduct a comprehensive inspection. This statutory vehicle inspection serves as a reminder to prevent potential issues that may arise from prolonged lack of inspection. Contents of vehicle inspection: Visual inspection of the vehicle's exterior, including checking the left, right, and interior rearview mirrors to ensure they are intact and undamaged. Inspection of the vehicle's braking system, verifying that all fault indicator lights show no alarm conditions. Checking the vehicle's steering system for looseness or cracks. Verifying the proper functioning of vehicle lighting and signal indicators. Inspecting the condition of the vehicle's tires, etc. Reset method for statutory vehicle inspection: Turn on the ignition switch, but do not start the vehicle. Press the reset button for 8 seconds until the multifunction display shows the vehicle inspection symbol. Press the reset button again to display the next system requiring reset, such as the rear brake pad system reset. Each press will display another system requiring reset. When the vehicle inspection system requiring reset is selected, turn the ignition switch to the second position, press and hold the reset button for approximately 3 seconds until the multifunction display shows the vehicle inspection icon, then continue holding the reset button for another 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, the display will show "RESET?" Press the reset button again until the screen displays "OK." Turn off the ignition switch to complete the reset process.
The statutory vehicle inspection is the mandatory annual check required by our national laws to ensure roadworthiness. It covers a comprehensive range of tests including brake system responsiveness, lighting intensity, tire wear conditions, and emission compliance. Failure to pass requires immediate repairs, otherwise drivers may face fines or even driving prohibition. I firmly believe these regular inspections are crucial as they identify potential issues early, significantly reducing accident risks. Some drivers procrastinate, but this often leads to higher emergency repair costs later. It's advisable to visit authorized service centers for professional inspections with transparent pricing. Last year, my worn-out tires were detected during inspection and promptly replaced, preventing dangerous skidding incidents. In the long run, compliance with this regulation benefits both personal and public safety.
Mandatory vehicle inspection refers to the legally enforced safety testing of vehicles, primarily covering functional tests of critical components. For example, it checks whether the brakes, steering system, lights, and exhaust emissions meet regulatory standards. Failure to comply or pass the inspection may result in fines or even license revocation. I once experienced this myself—after the inspection revealed a brake fluid leak, I promptly repaired it and avoided a potential accident. The process usually takes only half a day and is inexpensive, yet it ensures peace of mind while driving. On a broader level, it’s not just a formality but a crucial preventive measure. Ignoring it significantly increases risks during high-speed driving and may even affect insurance premiums. In short, it’s an effective system for maintaining traffic order, deserving attention and compliance from all vehicle owners.
