It can be read from outside the vehicle in the lower area of the driver's side on the front windshield. Additionally, the vehicle identification number is also printed on the front bulkhead in the middle of the vehicle's drainage channel. Opening the engine hood can also reveal the vehicle identification number. Introduction to the Vehicle Chassis Number: The vehicle chassis number refers to the car's frame number. Through this string of numbers, information such as the vehicle's origin, manufacturer, model, year, and configuration can be determined. Composition of the Chassis Number: The chassis number consists of 17 characters, including the digits 0-9 and 23 uppercase English letters excluding I, O, and Q. The exclusion of I, O, and Q is to prevent confusion with the numbers 1 and 0. Generally, the 17 characters of the chassis number can be divided into three parts: characters 1-3 represent the WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier); characters 4-9 are the VDS (Vehicle Descriptor Section); and characters 10-17 are the VIS (Vehicle Identifier Section).

What are the damages of installing a turbocharger to the engine?

After turbocharging, the pressure and temperature during engine operation significantly increase, resulting in a shorter lifespan compared to naturally aspirated engines of the same displacement. Additionally, mechanical and lubrication performance will be affected. The advantage is that it increases the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque, allowing for greater power output after turbocharging. After installing a turbocharger, an engine's maximum power can increase by 40% or even more compared to when it was not equipped with a turbocharger. Below are some details about turbocharged engines: 1. Working Principle: Generally, turbocharging is indeed suitable for long-distance driving, similar to naturally aspirated engines, because long-distance driving involves higher and more consistent speeds, keeping the turbocharger engaged for extended periods, which can be more fuel-efficient compared to naturally aspirated engines. The main difference between turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines lies in the presence of the turbocharger. For a given engine displacement, the most effective way to increase output power is to supply more fuel for combustion. 2. Precautions: Improper driving can severely impact the lifespan of both the turbocharger and the engine.

What is the difference between driving with glasses and without glasses?

There is actually not much difference between driving with glasses and without glasses, as long as you pay attention to safety. Here are some driving precautions: 1. Slow down and observe when turning: Develop the habit of slowing down and observing the situation in the non-motorized vehicle lane and pedestrian lane when turning (especially when intersecting with them). Proceed slowly, which applies both in urban and rural areas. Actively yield to electric bikes in the non-motorized lane and pedestrians on the sidewalk. When making a right turn in the city, give way to pedestrians and electric bikes on the crosswalk and proceed slowly only after confirming there is no risk of accidents. 2. Slow down and look left and right at intersections: Develop the habit of looking left and right (while slowing down) when approaching an intersection, regardless of whether there is a traffic light or if your lane has a green light. Observe the traffic on the cross street and proceed only after confirming there are no vehicles rushing through. Also, be mindful of electric bikes, as their small size makes them easy to overlook.

Does Wearing Contact Lenses Affect Driving Practice?

Wearing glasses or not actually makes little difference. Here are some driving precautions: 1. Slow down and observe when turning: Develop the habit of slowing down significantly when making turns (especially at intersections with bicycle lanes or pedestrian crossings)! Carefully observe the situation in bicycle lanes and pedestrian crossings, then proceed slowly. This applies to both urban and suburban driving. Actively yield to electric bikes in bicycle lanes and pedestrians on sidewalks. When making right turns in urban areas, give way to pedestrians and electric bikes at crosswalks, only proceeding slowly after confirming no potential hazards. 2. Slow down and look both ways at intersections: Cultivate the habit of looking left and right (while slowing down) when approaching intersections, regardless of traffic lights or whether your lane has a green light. Observe the traffic situation on the crossing roads, only accelerating through the intersection after confirming no vehicles are running red lights (also watch out for electric bikes as their small size makes them easy to overlook).

What are the requirements for the third-phase traffic duty station?

The main task is to assist police officers in guiding citizens to comply with traffic regulations. For example, dissuading non-motor vehicles from running red lights, stopping beyond the line, going against traffic, or driving in non-designated lanes; discouraging pedestrians from running red lights or not using sidewalks. Stages: The three-hour persuasion activity is divided into three stages. In the first stage, trainees are required to stand at the intersection for one hour. The second stage allows trainees to rest and learn basic traffic knowledge. In the third stage, trainees continue to stand at the intersection for another hour. They must wear reflective vests uniformly, hold a small yellow triangular flag labeled "Traffic Persuader," and carry a whistle, directing on-site traffic under the command of traffic police. Duty Station: If a trainee leaves the post without approval from a police officer or auxiliary police, fails to dress as required or carry persuasion equipment, performs duties carelessly, or finds someone to substitute for the persuasion activity, they will be deemed as failing. The trainee must redo the duty station until they pass.

What Causes the Handbrake of a Sedan to Fail to Hold?

Introduction to the reasons why the handbrake fails to hold: 1. Braking effect: The ABS activates, but the car still shows no obvious braking effect, and the braking distance significantly increases. 2. ABS not activated: The wheels do not lock up, the ABS does not activate, and the car rolls forward. The first issue likely stems from the tires, possibly due to severe tire wear, leading to a reduced static friction coefficient, which makes the tires prone to locking up and causes the ABS to intervene too early, failing to generate effective braking force and compromising safety. Solution: 1. Replace the tires: It is recommended to switch to a slightly larger tire size for a significantly improved braking effect. The second issue likely originates from the braking system itself. 2. Replace the brake pads: If a noticeable friction sound is heard during braking, it indicates severely worn brake pads that should be replaced immediately. If no sound is heard, the issue may lie with a malfunctioning brake pump, preventing the brake piston from working effectively. In such cases, it is advisable to promptly visit a repair shop to service the brake assembly.

Will points be deducted if the two sides of the reverse parking are not equally wide?

As long as the mirrors are not outside the line, no points will be deducted. Here is the relevant introduction about reverse parking: 1. Technique: Align the mirror and turn right fully. When starting the first reverse parking, observe the positional relationship between the left rearview mirror and the parking line. First, turn the steering wheel half a turn to the right and start moving. When the left rearview mirror covers the parking line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right; while reversing with the steering wheel fully turned to the right, look at the right rearview mirror. Observe the distance between the car body and the right front corner of the parking space, keeping this distance at 30 centimeters. If it is too narrow, adjust the steering wheel. The standard width of the parking space line is 15 centimeters, so in the rearview mirror, it should appear as roughly two parking space line widths. 2. Precautions: Generally, start in 1st gear and do not shift incorrectly. When controlling the speed, turning the steering wheel as quickly as possible is always better. When these two conflict, prioritize controlling the speed.
