Different in recorded information: The vehicle license records information such as the license plate number, vehicle type, the owner's personal or unit name, address, vehicle brand and model, usage nature, technical data of the vehicle from the factory, and the issuance date of the document; The motor vehicle driver's license records the driver's personal information, initial license issuance date, permitted driving vehicle types, file number, valid start date, and validity period, etc.

From my years of driving experience, the difference between a driver's license and a vehicle license is quite significant. Simply put, the driver's license is proof that you're qualified to drive, featuring your photo, name, and validity period—it's essentially your ID when driving. The vehicle license, on the other hand, certifies the legality of the car itself, recording the license plate number, owner information, and vehicle details, acting like the car's ID. I remember mixing up the two when I first started driving—I got fined for parking without the vehicle license, and forgetting the driver's license while driving is even worse, possibly leading to point deductions. Additionally, renewing a driver's license requires passing an exam, while the vehicle license just needs an annual vehicle inspection for renewal. Carrying these documents is crucial—don’t repeat my careless mistakes from younger days to avoid frantic situations during traffic checks and ensure safe driving.

When I first got my new car, I carefully compared two documents: the driver's license is my proof of driving qualification, carrying it with me ensures I won't be stopped while driving; the vehicle registration certificate is the proof of car ownership, always kept in the car, ready to be shown when the traffic police inspect the vehicle. The key difference lies in the content—the driver's license contains my personal information and license number, while the vehicle registration records car details like the brand and VIN code. Last time, my friend went out without the vehicle registration and faced difficulties in accident handling, delaying insurance claims. I suggest new car owners develop a habit: keep one document in the wallet and the other in the glove box to avoid confusion or loss causing minor issues. Understanding these details better makes driving life smoother.

What is the HOLD light?

HOLD light is the gear lock indicator light. When the HOLD light is on, it indicates that the gear is locked in a specific position. When driving uphill or on icy/snowy roads that require low-gear operation, you can activate HOLD to lock the transmission in second gear. The button for this switch is located in the middle of the gear lever. Pressing it again will deactivate the function. Normally, it's not recommended to use this feature as it may harm the transmission. Automatic gear lock is a forced downshift key, used when gears get stuck or during towing. When HOLD is activated, the parking brake system will automatically engage each time the vehicle comes to a complete stop after braking. You'll feel a release of pressure on the brake pedal, at which point you can release the pedal without worrying about the vehicle rolling. Working principle of gear lock indicator light: The transmission control unit uses this sensor to detect the gear selected by the driver and performs corresponding control actions. Relationship between neutral switch and gear position switch: In older vehicles, the P (Park) and N (Neutral) switches were connected in series with the starter motor switch, meaning the engine could only be started in these two positions. In newer vehicles, the control unit identifies the neutral signal first, then decides whether to engage the starter motor.

What Causes Difficulty in Removing the Car Key?

Car key difficulty in removal can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. P gear not properly engaged: When exiting the vehicle, the gear was not shifted to P or the P gear did not fully engage, possibly obstructed by an object, thus failing to trigger the electronic sensor. 2. Steering wheel locked: The steering wheel was not returned to its proper position when parking, causing an abnormal lock. The solution is to insert the key, attempt to turn the steering wheel left and right while twisting the key, which will release the steering wheel lock. 3. Obstruction in the key slot: The solution involves removing the obstruction, starting the car, shifting the gear again to ensure it is fully engaged, after which the key can be removed.
