Green Vehicle Book is issued by the DMV. The Green Book is the registration certificate, which is issued to the vehicle owner on the spot by DMV staff at the inspection site when a new vehicle is registered. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: The so-called Green Book is the "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate," equivalent to a person's household registration booklet. It records the registration date and manufacturing date and is kept by the vehicle owner. It is generally not used in daily life and is not carried with the vehicle. However, it is required when transferring vehicle ownership. If the vehicle is mortgaged for a loan, the lending company usually retains the Green Book. Losing the Green Book means we only have the right to use the vehicle but not the right to sell it. 2. Prerequisite: The Green Book can only be obtained when the vehicle is purchased in full. If the vehicle is bought with a loan, the Green Book must be mortgaged to the lending bank or company. After the loan is fully repaid, the owner must take the Green Book to the DMV to release the mortgage; otherwise, the ownership of the vehicle remains with the lending company.

What does MEM mean on a car?

MEM button can directly recall the memory of cruise control. Below is the relevant introduction about cruise control: 1. Introduction: The cruise control system is an electronic control technology that maintains the vehicle at a constant speed automatically. Its main function is to lock the vehicle speed according to the driver's demand, allowing the car to maintain a fixed speed without pressing the accelerator pedal. When driving on highways, it can effectively reduce driver fatigue, and maintaining a constant speed also helps save fuel consumption. 2. Usage conditions: The cruise control system is not suitable for all times and places. Professionals suggest: In principle, cruise control should be used on highways or fully enclosed roads. This is because on non-enclosed roads, complex road conditions are not conducive to traffic safety.

What Happens If the Car's Catalytic Converter Is Removed?

Removing the car's catalytic converter will increase tailpipe emissions, reduce the vehicle's power, and increase fuel consumption. Here are methods to distinguish between genuine and fake used catalytic converters: 1. Pore Arrangement: In a normal catalytic converter, the pores of the internal porous ceramic should be evenly arranged and uniformly sized, with the ceramic being clean and white (a yellowish beige indicates a fake). 2. Assembly: The porous ceramic inside the catalytic converter, serving as a carrier, should be firmly and securely assembled with the outer shell, with no looseness (even slight looseness is unacceptable). 3. Dimensions: A replacement catalytic converter should match the original factory specifications in terms of size, the material of the internal porous ceramic, the arrangement and number of pore rows. 4. Steel Stamp: The encapsulation of the catalytic converter must be performed by a nationally recognized enterprise with environmental qualifications, and the manufacturer's steel stamp must be printed on it.
