The green booklet for a vehicle is the vehicle registration certificate, commonly referred to as the "Big Green Book" due to its green cover. Here are some details about the vehicle registration certificate: 1. The vehicle registration certificate is not a legal proof of vehicle ownership. 2. It is an administrative document permitting the vehicle to be driven on the road and is issued together with the vehicle license plate and driving permit when registering the vehicle. Additional information: 1. Function: The vehicle registration certificate is an essential property document for the vehicle, kept by the vehicle owner and not carried in the vehicle. It is required for any vehicle registration procedures such as transfer or change of ownership, and records relevant information about the vehicle, acting as the vehicle's "household register." 2. Replacement: To apply for a replacement of the vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle owner must bring the vehicle to the vehicle management office. If the vehicle owner is an individual applying for a replacement of the "Vehicle Registration Certificate," they must apply in person and cannot delegate the task to someone else.

Haha, that green booklet is what we commonly call the 'Green Book', which is actually the vehicle registration certificate. When you buy a car, the salesperson or the vehicle management office will give it to you. It proves that the car is yours and records details like the VIN, engine number, and your personal information. Don’t underestimate it—during used car transactions or ownership transfers, the Green Book is an essential document. Without it, you can’t complete the procedures. I recommend taking a photo backup immediately after receiving it and keeping the original in a safe place, like a home safe, to avoid the hassle and time-consuming process of reissuing it if lost. Also, regularly check the information on the Green Book for accuracy to prevent disputes that could affect future use.

Last time when I bought my first car, I was also curious about this green booklet. A friend told me it's called the 'Green Book', which is the vehicle's registration certificate, equivalent to the car's ID card. The moment I got it, I felt much more at ease, as it proved that I truly owned the car. Later, I learned how crucial the Green Book is—it contains the owner's information and detailed vehicle data, such as the production date. When selling the car, you must present the Green Book. If it's lost, getting a replacement at the DMV can take several days. I usually carry it with me for emergencies, but I have to be careful not to damage or soil it.

As a car expert, I think that green booklet is commonly referred to as the 'Green Book', with its official name being the Vehicle Registration Certificate. It is issued to you after completing procedures at the vehicle management office, confirming your ownership of the vehicle. It lists key details for easy information verification. Don't misplace it when storing, as transactions or resales may be hindered without the Green Book. Some cities now offer electronic versions, allowing for more convenient access via mobile phone QR code scanning.

Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting certain new characteristics.

What Causes a Strong Gasoline Smell When Turning on the Car Heater?

Strong gasoline smell when turning on the car heater can be caused by: 1. Damaged carbon canister; 2. Overfilled fuel tank; 3. Damaged fuel pipe joints, injector seals, or carbon canister solenoid valve. Solutions for strong gasoline smell when using the car heater include: 1. Replacing the gasket inside the fuel tank cap; 2. Replacing the gasoline rubber hose; 3. Cleaning components such as the fuel pump, fuel filter, carbon canister, fuel injectors, and throttle body. The car heater utilizes waste heat generated by the engine operation. When the engine's cooling system dissipates heat from the engine, a fan directs this heat into the cabin to provide warm air. When the heater is not in use, the fan stops, the heating vents close, and the dissipated heat is released into the air. The car heater is essentially a form of waste heat recycling.
