Dealership scratch insurance is a standalone scratch coverage, meaning the insurer only compensates when there is no other damage except for isolated scratches. Insurance claim considerations: If the vehicle exhibits isolated scratches without any signs of collision or scraping, the scratch insurance will cover it. However, scratches on the car's paint surface caused by collisions or scrapes during driving are not covered under scratch insurance. Due to the claim payout rate typically ranging between 200% to 300%, scratch insurance operations are generally loss-making. Most insurance companies only offer this coverage for newly purchased vehicles or those within two to three years of purchase. Vehicle scratch insurance considerations: Vehicle scratch insurance is an add-on to comprehensive car insurance, meaning you can only purchase scratch insurance if you have comprehensive coverage. Its protection covers "malicious human acts causing artificial scratches on the insured vehicle's body." The premium for scratch insurance is not high, and for many car owners, it's not a significant expense. Moreover, by choosing the right channel to purchase car insurance, the money saved can be used to buy scratch insurance.

What does the OFF light mean?

Car's OFF light mainly refers to ESP-OFF. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, which is an active safety device designed to prevent the vehicle from skidding or fishtailing. By default, ESP is automatically turned on, and the OFF light is off. If the OFF light is illuminated, it indicates that the ESP is turned off. Below is additional information: 1. ESP-OFF malfunction: If the ESP-OFF light is on due to a system malfunction, it should be promptly sent to a 4S shop for repair. There are many reasons that can cause the malfunction light to turn on, such as wiring faults, sensor damage, electronic control unit signal errors, or battery depletion. 2. Principle: ESP is particularly sensitive to oversteering or understeering. For example, when a car oversteers (turns too sharply) to the left on a slippery road, it may fishtail to the right. The sensor detects the skid and quickly brakes the right front wheel to restore traction, generating an opposite torque to keep the car in its original lane. The difference between a car with ESP and one with only ABS and ASR is that ABS and ASR can only react passively, while ESP can detect and analyze the vehicle's condition and correct driving errors, preventing problems before they occur.
