#PDI

A Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) is a detailed check performed on a product, usually a vehicle, before it’s delivered to the customer.

This process ensures that the item meets quality standards, is fully functional, and is in top condition. Here’s an outline of typical steps involved in a PDI for a vehicle:

1. Exterior Inspection

Check for any visible dents, scratches, or paint imperfections.

Ensure all body panels are properly aligned.

Test doors, trunk, and hood to confirm smooth opening and closing.

Verify tire condition, alignment, and pressure.

2. Interior Inspection

Confirm that seats, upholstery, and trim are free from defects.

Check that all lights, mirrors, windows, and locks function correctly.

Test all control buttons, air conditioning, and infotainment systems.

Confirm the cleanliness of the cabin and any protective coverings.

3. Engine and Under-the-Hood Inspection

Inspect the engine compartment for leaks, fluid levels, and battery condition.

Verify that the engine starts smoothly and idles properly.

Check belts, hoses, and filters for proper installation and condition.

4. Electrical System Check

Test all lights (headlights, brake lights, indicators) and gauges.

Ensure proper function of the horn, windshield wipers, and electronic systems.

Confirm that battery voltage is within an acceptable range.

5. Road Test

Test the vehicle's handling, steering, brakes, and acceleration.

Check for unusual noises or vibrations.

Confirm smooth shifting for manual or automatic transmissions.

6. Final Touches

Remove any protective wrappings or coverings.

Clean and detail the vehicle.

Complete necessary paperwork, including warranty and manual placements.

A PDI ensures that the product is in excellent condition and provides the customer with peace of mind, knowing their purchase meets quality and safety standards.
