Imported vehicles come with an engine certificate of conformity. The importance of the certificate and precautions when purchasing imported vehicles: Importance of the Certificate of Conformity: The certificate of conformity for imported vehicles, like standard certificates, includes a serial number and a barcode or QR code for scanning. The certificate is another crucial document for the vehicle and is essential for registration. Only vehicles with a certificate of conformity meet the national requirements for motor vehicle equipment quality and related standards. The numbers on the certificate must match the engine number and chassis number on the vehicle. Precautions When Purchasing Imported Vehicles: When purchasing, pay attention to the vehicle's source. Imported vehicles should be bought from domestic agents designated by the foreign car manufacturer. Carefully inspect all vehicle attachments and included tools to ensure they are complete. Check all parts of the vehicle for proper sealing and any signs of oil, gas, water, or electrical leaks. Also, pay special attention to the vehicle's mileage. Typically, a new vehicle should have less than 200 kilometers, and it should not exceed 1,000 kilometers at most.

As a long-term user of imported cars, I must say clearly that imported vehicles must have a certificate of conformity. Last year, when I bought an imported car, the dealer gave me a thick file package, which included the certificate of conformity, proving that the car fully complies with China's safety and environmental standards. This document is crucial—without it, you can't even get the license plate. I remember the vehicle management office repeatedly checked it before issuing the license plate, afraid of making any mistakes. I also looked up information and found that imported vehicles must undergo strict inspections at customs, and the certificate of conformity is the final approval document. If you buy a car through unofficial channels, it might not come with this certificate, and you could end up spending a fortune on a useless decoration. My own experience is to keep these documents safe, treating them as important as your ID card, to avoid trouble if they're lost. So, imported cars definitely have a certificate of conformity—it's a basic requirement. When buying a car, I recommend asking more about the details to ensure the source is legitimate and reliable.

In my many years of experience in the automotive industry, imported vehicles must come with a conformity certificate to be sold and used domestically. This certificate acts like a vehicle's passport, proving it meets national standards and has passed customs inspection. When buyers go to the DMV for registration, officials will verify the authenticity of this document. In practice, legally imported vehicles come with a complete set of documents, including CCC certification and this certificate. If missing, owners risk registration failure—I've handled cases that led to return disputes. I advise consumers to verify all documents before purchase and choose reputable dealers. Simply put, having a conformity certificate for imported vehicles is mandatory—non-negotiable.

Just bought an imported car, and I curiously studied the documents, finding that there is indeed a certificate of conformity. The salesperson told me it's a necessary document for registration, and without it, the car can't be driven. I received it upon delivery, feeling like it's the car's legal proof. I remember the vehicle management office checked it very carefully during registration. Ordinary users should also take this seriously, ensuring not to lose it. Imported cars are basically all equipped with a certificate of conformity, so rest assured.

Why does brake failure occur when brake pads overheat?

High temperatures can cause vaporization of brake fluid. Below is relevant information about brake pads: 1. Classification of brake pads: Asbestos brake pads (mostly phased out), semi-metallic brake pads, low-metallic brake pads, NAO formula brake pads, ceramic brake pads, NAO ceramic brake pads. 2. Ceramic brake pads vs traditional brake pads: In traditional brake pads, metal is the primary material generating friction, providing strong braking force but with significant wear and prone to noise. After installing ceramic brake pads, abnormal squealing (clicking sounds) won't occur during normal driving. Since ceramic brake pads contain no metal components, they avoid the metallic screeching noise caused by friction between traditional metal brake pads and their counterparts (i.e., brake pads and rotors). 3. Stable friction coefficient: Ordinary brake pads use immature friction materials, and excessively high friction coefficients can lead to loss of directional control during braking, pad burning, rotor scratching, and other safety hazards. Even when brake rotor temperatures reach 650°C, ceramic brake pads maintain a friction coefficient between 0.45-0.55, ensuring excellent braking performance.
