It will not be returned to the vehicle owner. The vehicle credentials include the following 4 items: 1. Purchase invoice: The purchase invoice is the most important proof when buying a car and also serves as one of the documents required for vehicle registration. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the purchase invoice from the dealer and verify its validity; 2. Vehicle qualification certificate: The qualification certificate is another crucial document for the vehicle and is mandatory for registration. Only vehicles with a qualification certificate meet the national requirements for motor vehicle equipment quality and related standards; 3. Three-guarantee service card: According to regulations, dealers provide maintenance services within a certain period. If faults or damages are caused by manufacturing quality issues, the manufacturer's free services can be availed with the three-guarantee service card, though wear-prone parts like bulbs and rubber are not included; 4. Vehicle user manual: Users must operate the vehicle according to the instructions in the user manual. Damages caused by not following the manual's instructions are not covered by the manufacturer's three-guarantee. The user manual also specifies the vehicle's main technical parameters and essential technical data for maintenance and adjustments, serving as a reference text for repairs.

I remember when I went to register my new car, the staff would take away the vehicle conformity certificate and not return it to the owner. This document proves that the vehicle meets factory standards, but after registration, it becomes part of the records kept at the vehicle management office. As an ordinary car owner, I was initially puzzled, thinking I needed to keep it for future reference. Later, the dealership explained that the main purpose of the conformity certificate is for registration, and afterward, the vehicle license takes over the responsibility of proof. Once you have the vehicle license in hand, you can drive on the road—all traffic regulations and insurance rely on it. It's advisable to keep the car purchase invoice and the vehicle consistency certificate to avoid issues when transferring ownership or selling the car later. After all, this document is only useful during new car registration. If needed in the future, you can request a certificate or check the records at the vehicle management office, saving you the worry of losing it. In short, there's no need to fret about not having the conformity certificate—the vehicle license is the key for daily use.

When I went to register my license plate, I realized the vehicle conformity certificate was directly taken away, which left me feeling a bit disappointed. The staff explained that this document is a core requirement for registration, serving as proof of the vehicle's compliance with quality standards, and must be archived after registration to prevent reuse or forgery. As a long-time female car owner, I came to understand that acceptance is key—no need to overthink and affect my mood. Once the vehicle registration certificate is obtained, I can drive with peace of mind. Some friends mistakenly believe that lacking the conformity certificate might impact insurance claims or resale, but this is unnecessary worry—insurers and used car transactions only require the registration certificate. I recommend taking a photo of the conformity certificate in advance as a backup for potential historical queries in special cases. This way, daily driving remains smooth, and there's no need to fret over it. The priority is to focus time on safe driving and proper vehicle maintenance to enjoy the long-term pleasure of driving.

When I went to register the license plate, the vehicle certification was definitely taken away, which is completely normal. The DMV uses it to verify the vehicle information, archives it after registration, and the owner gets the vehicle license. This certificate is only useful for new vehicle registration. Once the registration is completed, there's no need to keep it. The vehicle license is the key document proving ownership and legal road use. I suggest not worrying about this; just keep the invoice safe. For daily driving, the vehicle license is all you need, such as handling traffic violations or annual inspections. When selling the car in the future, providing the vehicle license plus the invoice is sufficient. Maintaining the vehicle's normal condition is what truly matters.

How to Quickly Solve the Problem of an Automatic Car Not Starting?

Reasons and solutions for an automatic car not starting: 1. Spark plug failure: If the issue is due to spark plugs, it's best to replace all of them. 2. No antifreeze added: Using water or low-quality antifreeze can cause the entire cooling system to freeze in extremely cold winter conditions, leading to engine cracks and preventing the car's water pump from functioning. This results in the car not starting and damages other engine components. 3. Wrong gear position: When starting an automatic car, the gear must be in P or N position. If it's in R or D position, the car won't start. 4. Dead battery: This could be due to leaving headlights on for a long time or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. It's generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. Additionally, installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, or DVD players can also cause vehicle circuit failures.

What are the consequences of removing the catalytic converter?

The catalytic converter in a car is designed to enhance the purification of vehicle exhaust. If removed, it can have the following effects: 1. Increased vehicle emissions: Without the catalytic converter, the exhaust gases cannot be effectively purified, leading to emissions that exceed standards. 2. Reduced power and increased fuel consumption: Removing the catalytic converter may cause blockages, resulting in decreased engine power and higher fuel consumption. Below is an introduction to the catalytic converter: 1. Function: The catalytic converter, installed in the vehicle's exhaust system, is the most important external purification device. It converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction. 2. Hazards of malfunction: If the mixture is too lean, it can cause ignition difficulties, weak driving, engine backfire, etc. If the mixture is too rich, it can increase fuel consumption, incomplete combustion, and severe carbon buildup in the cylinders and spark plugs. In such cases, the engine warning light should illuminate.
