Last time I helped a friend find the vehicle license number, it was quite a headache. The most straightforward method is to locate the original vehicle license document. On the front page of that little blue booklet, the 12-digit number is clearly printed in the middle section, usually labeled as 'License Plate Number'. If you can't find the document temporarily, you can open the 12123 Traffic Management APP, log in with the registered owner's account, and find the complete information in the 'Motor Vehicle' section. If the vehicle was recently transferred and the previous owner didn't hand over the license, you'll need to bring your ID card to the DMV for a replacement. Important reminder: don't casually post photos of your vehicle license online, and it's best to blur out the last few digits - there are so many license plate cloning scams these days. I remember last time when I posted a photo on social media, a friend warned me that I almost leaked sensitive information. Also, while the VIN and engine number can be seen on the windshield and in the engine compartment, they're completely different from the vehicle license number.

As someone who has experienced losing my documents, I have a lot to say about this. You really don't need to go out of your way to check your vehicle license number—it's right there on your vehicle's license. It's a good idea to keep the blue booklet in the glove compartment for easy access. When you really can't find the documents, the 12123 app is a lifesaver, but you'll need to complete real-name authentication as the vehicle owner and enter the full VIN to view detailed information. A friend of mine tried calling the insurance company to inquire, but they had to provide the insurance policy and ID verification, which was quite a hassle. The self-service machines at the vehicle management office are fast and reliable—just bring your ID and use facial recognition to print the proof documents. It's important to note that leaking this number can have serious consequences. A relative of mine once had someone else use it to handle traffic violations. When replacing the documents, it's best to make several copies for your records, and remember to mark them with 'For xx use only'.

The vehicle license number generally refers to the license plate number, located in the upper left corner of the supplementary page of the vehicle license. It's that prominent five or six-digit combination. The easiest way is to directly check your paper vehicle license. Nowadays, electronic documents are used, and you can view the complete information by clicking on the details in the driver's license module of the Traffic Management 12123 APP. Last year when I renewed my license, the staff specifically reminded me not to casually send photos of the document to second-hand dealers or repair shops—if verification is needed, do it in person. In urgent situations where it's necessary to check someone else's vehicle, both parties must bring their ID cards to the vehicle management office to apply for an inquiry letter. Actually, the simplest method is to develop the habit of keeping an encrypted photo on your phone.

What to Do When the Tire Pressure Warning Light Is On but the Tires Are Fine?

Here are the solutions for when the tire pressure warning light is on, but the tires appear to be fine: Solution: Visual Inspection: After safely parking the vehicle, observe the contact area between each tire tread and the ground. This is done by checking how many tread blocks are in contact with the ground. If a tire appears to be significantly lower in pressure (with nearly one more tread block in contact compared to the other tires), it is not advisable to continue driving. Note: It is recommended to keep a tire pressure gauge in the car to measure the pressure of all four tires. The vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system is a direct monitoring system, which can provide accurate data on the specific pressure of each tire.

Is CVT the Same as Automatic Transmission?

CVT transmission is a type of automatic transmission. Some CVT transmissions also come with a manual-automatic mode, allowing switching between automatic and manual modes. More relevant information is as follows: Introduction: CVT transmission is called "continuously variable transmission" in Chinese. Its shifting principle differs from the stepped shifting of ordinary AT transmissions. It uses hydraulically controlled conical pulleys that tighten or expand to change the diameter of the steel belt, thereby achieving gear shifting. Highlights: The smooth shifting of CVT transmissions is one of its highlights. Since there are no actual gear constraints, the jerky feeling caused by shifting disappears, resulting in more linear power output. Additionally, the mechanical efficiency and fuel economy of CVT transmissions are superior to those of ordinary automatic transmissions, second only to manual transmissions.

How often should the gear oil in a tricycle rear axle be changed?

It should be changed approximately every 20,000-30,000 km. Below is relevant information: Time: The interval may vary depending on the oil brand, but generally, it should be changed every 20,000-30,000 km. For new vehicles, the rear axle oil should be replaced during the 12,000 km maintenance, and then inspected every 24,000 km thereafter. If noticeable discoloration or thinning is observed, immediate replacement is necessary. Precautions: Different types of hypoid gear lubricants should not be mixed, as this may cause the lubricant to deteriorate and corrode the main and pinion gears. Avoid introducing moisture during storage and filling of gear oil to prevent decomposition and reduced lubrication effectiveness. When replacing deteriorated lubricant, ensure the main reducer is thoroughly cleaned to avoid contamination of the new oil.
