Where to Find the Vehicle Compliance Certificate Number?

The vehicle compliance certificate number can be found on the vehicle compliance certificate, located in the upper right corner of the first page of the motor vehicle registration certificate, consisting of 17 digits. The vehicle compliance certificate is issued with the vehicle upon leaving the factory. It needs to be submitted to the vehicle management office for archiving during the vehicle registration process, and the motor vehicle registration certificate is then replaced. Therefore, the compliance certificate for unlicensed vehicles should be in the hands of the dealer, while for licensed vehicles, it is stored in the archives of the vehicle management office. The vehicle compliance certificate is an important document for the vehicle and is essential for vehicle registration. Only vehicles with a compliance certificate meet the national requirements for motor vehicle equipment quality and related standards. National regulations stipulate that the compliance certificate for a new vehicle must accompany the vehicle at all times, meaning the certificate arrives when the vehicle does, and it should be taken away together with the vehicle upon delivery.

Where is the USB port located in the Passat?

The USB port of the Passat is located at the bottom of the front armrest box, along with the AUX port, both situated within the center console between the driver and front passenger seats. The built-in USB port in the car can be used to charge navigation devices and mobile phones. Typically, the car audio system includes a USB port, and a car USB charger adapter can also be used to charge mobile phones. However, the USB port on the audio system usually has a maximum output current of only 1A, resulting in slow charging speeds. Passat features: As a mid-cycle refresh model, the new Passat does not show significant changes in its exterior design. The updates mainly focus on the redesign of the front lower bumper, daytime running light style of the headlights, and taillight style. These new design elements are reflected across several variants, including the sedan, wagon, crossover wagon, and GTE versions. The outer matrix LED module consists of 32 individually controllable LEDs, enabling functions such as turn signals, daytime running lights, and side lights through this single module. The two modules collectively contain 44 LEDs. The IQ.Light system equipped in the Passat can actively adjust the lighting scheme according to different road conditions.

Where is the jack located for changing tires on a Prado?

The jack for the Prado is located inside the trunk. Lift the cover at the bottom of the trunk, and the jack will be found in the middle of the spare tire. Precautions when using a car jack: Vibrations from the car engine or the rotation of the wheels can cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. Therefore, never start the engine when using a car jack to avoid danger. When using the jack, ensure it is placed on the designated fixed position of the car jack. Do not place the jack on parts like the bumper or crossbeam. If not placed in the correct position, it may damage the car bumper, crossbeam, or other components. When changing a wheel, passengers should not remain in the car, and maintenance personnel must not work under a vehicle that is not supported by a jack, as their movements could cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. The lifting height of the jack should not exceed its effective lifting range. When lifting large objects (such as a beam), lift and lower each end separately, ensuring the other end is securely supported and stable. Do not exceed the jack's load capacity. Operate the jack smoothly and rhythmically when lifting, and lower it slowly. After using the jack, conduct a thorough inspection to check for oil pressure and potential hazards, perform maintenance, and store it in an appropriate location.

What types of insurance are necessary for a family car?

Family cars require four types of insurance: compulsory traffic insurance, vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, and no-deductible insurance. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: As one of the legally mandated insurances, compulsory traffic insurance requires the insurance company to pay a certain amount to the involved party if any loss is caused to a third party, regardless of fault or the need for compensation. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Vehicle damage insurance is also typically necessary. For everyday issues like scratches, repair costs can be claimed from the insurance company. Especially in accidents where the at-fault party cannot be identified, the insurance company will cover 70% of the costs. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This type of insurance provides the most direct protection. In the event of an accident, whether the third party suffers injury, death, or property loss, the insurance company will compensate according to the corresponding amount. No-Deductible Insurance: In many accidents, insurance companies have a 5-20% deductible rate. However, if the car owner purchases this insurance, all liabilities and amounts will be fully transferred to the insurance company, allowing the owner to receive more compensation.

On which day is the driver's license point reset?

The reset time for driver's license points is the issuance date on the driver's license. The system automatically clears points on the issuance date each year. Scoring cycle and point clearance method: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points. It is calculated from the date of initial issuance of the motor vehicle driver's license, and so on in a continuous cycle. If the penalty points recorded during one scoring cycle do not reach 12 points, the scoring system will automatically reset the points from the previous cycle at the start of the next scoring cycle. Methods for handling points: Drivers who accumulate 12 points must attend a study session and take an exam at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or at the location where the violation occurred. Only after passing the subject one exam can the points be reset. Otherwise, the driver's license cannot be used normally. If the points do not reach 12 within one scoring cycle, driving is not affected, but the corresponding fine must be paid. After paying the fine, the system will automatically reset the points at the start of the next scoring cycle.
