The 10th digit 'M' in the VIN represents the year 2021. Below is relevant information about the VIN: VIN location: For trucks and large vehicles, it is generally located on the right side of the vehicle frame at the rear; for passenger cars, it is usually found in the lower left corner of the windshield (under the wiper deflector) or on the door frame below the passenger seat; for motorcycles, turn the handlebars fully to one side, and you'll find a nameplate below the odometer with the VIN; the vehicle's registration certificate also clearly states the VIN in the 'VIN' section. VIN content: The VIN, or Vehicle Identification Number, is like a vehicle's ID card—just as every person has their own identity card, each vehicle has a unique VIN composed of 17 digits or letters. People can learn a lot about a vehicle from its VIN, such as its place of manufacture, vehicle type, model year, assembly details, etc. Digits 1-3 represent the manufacturing location, brand, and type; digits 4-8 indicate vehicle characteristics; digits 9-11 denote the check digit, model year, and assembly plant; digits 12-17 represent the serial number, which is the last 6 digits of the VIN.

What does the i-stop green light mean?

i-stop green light indicates that the auto start-stop function is ready for normal use. Additional information: 1. When the green light is on, stepping on the brake will automatically shut off the engine, while releasing the brake will automatically restart the engine. 2. The auto start-stop function is particularly suitable for urban traffic situations like waiting at traffic lights or during traffic jams, as it reduces engine idling time. When the engine is off, the vehicle's electrical system can power the engine cooling fan and air conditioning instead of the belt-driven system. Advantages of the auto start-stop function: 1. Reduces unnecessary fuel consumption. 2. Lowers emissions and improves fuel economy. 3. To some extent, it promotes standardized driving behavior - the system won't activate if seat belts aren't fastened. Conversely, if you unfasten the seat belt after stopping, the engine won't restart even if you release the brake or press the accelerator.

How to Remove Stubborn Foot Marks on the Inner Side of Car Doors?

The main solutions for stubborn foot marks on the inner side of car doors are: 1. Full-coverage floor mats: Car carpets are usually made of plush material, which easily traps dust and is difficult to clean. Installing full-coverage floor mats can cover the car carpet and block dust and dirt. Compared to car carpets, full-coverage mats do not trap dust and are easier to clean. If odors develop, the mats can be removed, cleaned, dried, and then reinstalled. 2. Threshold guards: When getting in and out of the car, people often step on the car threshold, leaving footprints or dirt. Sand particles on shoes combined with body weight can easily scratch the threshold, affecting its appearance. Most threshold guards on the market are made of stainless steel to enhance scratch resistance. Stainless steel is also easier to clean—stains can be wiped off with just a paper towel. Installing glossy threshold guards can also improve the car's overall aesthetics.
