The vehicle license does contain the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), which is a 17-character alphanumeric code serving as the car's unique identifier. This code can also be found in the engine compartment. Below is more information about the VIN: 1. The VIN, or Vehicle Identification Code, is a 17-digit alphanumeric combination that ensures no two vehicles of the same model are identical within 30 years, functioning as the car's unique ID, much like a human's ID card. 2. The last six digits of the VIN can be used to query detailed vehicle information. 3. The 17-character VIN is typically divided into six sections: Characters 1-3 represent the manufacturer, brand, and type; Characters 4-8 (or 4-9 in European standards) indicate vehicle characteristics. China follows the U.S. standard, using positions 4-8 for these features.

Of course, the vehicle frame number is on the driving license! I'm the most qualified to talk about this because I just helped a friend with a vehicle transfer last month. The vehicle frame number, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), is printed in the second column of the supplementary page of the driving license, usually as a 17-digit alphanumeric combination. You might not pay much attention to it usually, but it's especially important in critical moments—for example, when buying a used car, you need to verify if the physical stamp matches the document to avoid purchasing a cloned vehicle. My personal habit is to jot down the first three digits of the VIN in my phone's notes (which represent the manufacturer), so that if the document is lost, I can quickly report it to the traffic police. Remember to regularly check if the original VIN under the windshield is corroded—it would be troublesome if it doesn't match the driving license!

Absolutely! The 'Vehicle Identification Number' in that little green booklet of the vehicle license is the chassis number. Last time my car got rear-ended, the first thing the insurance company asked for was a photo of the chassis number from the vehicle license. This number is like the car's ID card—traffic police check it along with the license plate during violations. A tip: cover that number on the vehicle license with clear tape, as the plastic film can wear off the print. If you find the chassis number on the license doesn't match the one engraved on the door frame, go to the DMV immediately, or you won't pass the annual inspection. Also, don't leave the vehicle license in direct sunlight—heat can blur the print.

Yes, it's definitely there, located in the middle of the vehicle information page on the vehicle license. My old SUV's vehicle license has been used for seven years, and the "Vehicle Identification Number" field still clearly displays the VIN. When purchasing a car, the 4S store will remind you to verify whether the physical number matches the one on the document. It's advisable to keep a photo of your vehicle license on your phone. Sometimes, when handling accident insurance remotely, the other party may request the VIN directly, which can be more convenient than providing the license plate number. Remember not to lend your vehicle license to others casually, as leaking the VIN could lead to vehicle cloning.

Can the location of a driver's license be changed?

Driver's license can be changed to a different location. Materials required for the change: You need to bring your ID card, driver's license, and three one-inch color photos with a white background to the local vehicle management office to complete the transfer procedure for an out-of-town driver's license. For non-local residents, a residence permit is required, provided that the driver's license is in a normal state. Relevant regulations: Article 58 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" stipulates that if a motor vehicle driver's household registration is moved out of the jurisdiction of the original vehicle management office, they should apply for a replacement license at the vehicle management office of the new location. If a motor vehicle driver resides outside the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office that issued the license, they can apply for a replacement license at the vehicle management office of their place of residence. When applying, they must fill out an application form, submit the motor vehicle driver's identity proof and motor vehicle driver's license, and declare their physical condition.

Is it useful to turn on AC when using car heater?

Heating only utilizes the internal heat circulation of the car and does not require activating the compressor. Therefore, to use the heater, you only need to adjust the air conditioning button and should never touch the AC switch. The function of the AC button: The AC button in a car controls the switch of the air conditioning compressor. The working principle of the air conditioning compressor is to compress and drive the refrigerant in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit, so generally, there is no need to turn on the AC button when using the heater. Therefore, the idea that many car owners have about needing to turn on the AC button when using the heater is incorrect. The impact of using the heater on fuel consumption: The principles of heating and cooling are actually quite different. The heater relies on the heat dissipation from the engine. There is a small fan in the engine compartment that blows the heat collected by the cooling system into the car. If the heater is not turned on, this heat will be discharged outside the car, so using the heater in winter does not consume fuel.

What are the differences between Bosch Aerotwin and Flat Wiper?

Bosch Aerotwin and Flat Wiper have significant differences. Bosch Aerotwin: Aerotwin uses European imported materials assembled domestically, featuring multiple patented technologies and having won several international awards. It belongs to the U-type wiper category. The traditional frame wiper converts a single force point at the wiper arm connection into multiple force points on the wiper through a two-stage bracket transmission. This evenly distributes the downward pressure from the wiper arm across the wiper blade. The multiple pressure points on the wiper blade act on the internal steel strips, which then distribute the force more evenly to the rubber blade. It uses a U-type universal connector. Link: Bosch Automotive Parts Official Website - Wiper Blades. Flat Wiper: Flat Wiper is domestically produced and cost-effective. It belongs to the frameless wiper category. By using thicker, wider, and more elastic steel, this frameless wiper eliminates the need for the frame structure used in traditional wipers to distribute force. Instead, it directly applies force to the steel strip, effectively dispersing the concentrated force at a single point. This allows for the removal of the frame while maintaining even force distribution on the rubber blade. It features a side-lock interface. The wiper connector is directly inserted into the wiper arm and secured by a locking block.

What does the ABS warning light on the car mean?

When the ABS warning light appears on the car, it indicates a malfunction in the Anti-lock Braking System, which is an active safety feature built upon conventional braking mechanisms. The ABS prevents wheel lock-up during emergency braking, maintaining a rolling-and-sliding state of the wheels to enhance tire-to-ground friction. By regulating hydraulic pressure in the wheel brake cylinders, ABS ensures wheels don't lock during hard stops, preserving directional stability under emergency braking conditions.

Can I continue driving if the ESP warning light is on?

You should not continue driving if the ESP warning light is on, as it poses certain safety hazards. It is recommended to inspect and repair the issue immediately. The ESP system is the electronic stability program, which plays a crucial role in vehicle stability and safety. It is related to the ABS system, and a malfunction in the ESP system may also affect the ABS system. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System, which prevents the wheels from locking up during emergency braking, allowing the driver to both slow down the vehicle and maintain control over its trajectory to avoid obstacles.
