What Does Vehicle Safety Inspection Include?
2 Answers
Here is the relevant introduction to vehicle safety inspection content: 1. Exterior: The vehicle's exterior should be clean and free of scratches or damage. The interior should be tidy and well-organized. Doors, rearview mirrors, windshield wipers, and all parts and accessories should be intact, securely fastened, without any defects, and maintain normal technical performance. Required documents, tools, spare tires, and warning signs should all be complete. 2. Lights: All vehicle lights should function properly, be securely installed, and not loosen, get damaged, or lose functionality or change lighting direction due to vehicle vibration. Bulbs should be in good condition without burnout. Light switches should operate smoothly, dashboard indicator lights should function correctly, allowing clear visibility of all dashboard instruments without causing glare. 3. Instruments: Vehicle instruments such as the water temperature gauge, ammeter, fuel gauge, idle speed gauge, speedometer/odometer, and oil pressure gauge should function normally. 4. Engine: The engine should have good power performance, operate smoothly with stable idle speed, and maintain normal oil pressure. The engine should have good starting performance, and the ignition system, fuel system, lubrication system, and cooling system should all function well.
Last time I went to the 4S shop for maintenance, I specifically asked the technician about vehicle safety inspections - they're quite meticulous. Tires are a key focus: checking for bulges, cracks, and proper tire pressure. I usually use a coin to measure tread depth. The braking system is even more critical - brake pads need replacement when worn below 3mm, and brake fluid condition must be checked. For lighting, every lamp including turn signals must function, and headlight angles need proper adjustment. All fluids in the engine compartment require inspection - whether the engine oil is clean enough and coolant levels are adequate. Oh, and battery terminal oxidation should be cleaned promptly to prevent poor contact. Undercarriage inspection is absolutely essential too, checking for deformed suspension components or oil leaks. Finally, remember to test drive to verify ABS functionality and braking distance - driving with peace of mind is what matters most.
