There are generally only two situations where the VIN does not match. Here is the content introduction: 1. The car sold by the 4S store is incorrect: For example, the owner originally wanted to buy the top version of the Audi A6L, but the 4S store sold the mid-range version and later installed the missing configurations, selling it as the top version to the owner. 2. Assembled car: For example, if the engine of a top version Audi A4L is scrapped in a crash, and the body of another top version Audi A4L is scrapped in a crash, leaving only the engine usable, some car dealers will install the engine from the second car onto the first one. Additional information: A mismatched VIN is a very serious issue. The most direct impact is that license plate registration, annual inspection, and transfer of ownership cannot be processed. Moreover, a mismatched VIN is illegal, and if caught by traffic police, it will result in fines and demerit points.

What does CH stand for in a car?

CH is the abbreviation for 'change', meaning to switch. CH+ and CH- are used when playing CDs or FM radio to go to the previous track or frequency. To switch frequencies, you must first search and save the radio frequencies on the six preset buttons before you can switch. Here is some additional information: 1. A multifunction steering wheel refers to the inclusion of various function buttons on the sides or bottom of the steering wheel, including audio controls, air conditioning adjustments, hands-free calling, and sometimes even cruise control settings. The advantage of a multifunction steering wheel is that the driver can operate many of the car's electronic devices directly from the steering wheel without having to search for various buttons on the central console, allowing for greater focus on the road ahead and significantly improving driving safety. 2. Originally, this feature was standard in mid-range cars, but with technological advancements, it has gradually become more common in family cars. Many recently released compact and subcompact cars now come equipped with this feature. Although most are limited to audio controls, they provide considerable convenience and enjoyment for family car users.

What should I pay attention to when going to the driving school for the first time?

Here are some precautions for beginners when practicing driving: 1. Before turning into a narrow gate, first visually assess whether you can enter. Do not turn too close to obstacles near the gate, and try to minimize the turning angle. 2. To "embed" the car in the middle of a row of parked cars, use the reverse parking method. Use the rearview mirror to align the midline of the front vehicle's head as a reference. When half of the rear wheel passes this line, start turning the steering wheel to reverse. Once the vehicle is two-thirds in, straighten the steering wheel. 3. Be decisive and firm when overtaking or changing lanes. Stay as close as possible to the vehicle in front, especially on two-way lanes, to save time. When changing lanes, carefully observe the traffic in the adjacent lane through the rearview mirror, assessing both distance and the speed of the following vehicle. Only change lanes when it is safe; otherwise, the lane-changing vehicle will be fully responsible in case of a collision. 4. The key to shifting gears is learning to listen to the engine sound. When the speed is high but the gear is low (dragging), the engine will make a buzzing noise. Conversely, when the speed is low but the gear is high, the sound will be unusually loud, and the car body may shake. Generally, after starting, shift to 2nd gear once the car is moving, and shift to 3rd gear at around 40 mph.
