The frame number of the Xiaojiefang is located on the middle panel below the front windshield, facing forward. Engine number: The engine number is on the right front side of the engine, near the generator. The frame number, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), is a unique set of seventeen alphanumeric characters used to identify the manufacturer, engine, chassis serial number, and other specifications of a vehicle. To avoid confusion with the numbers 1 and 0, the letters 'I', 'O', and 'Q' are not used. Open the engine hood, and it can be seen facing forward below the middle of the front windshield. Location of the vehicle's frame number plate: Except for trailers and motorcycles, the plate should be fixed on one of the door hinge pillars, door lock pillars, or the door edge adjacent to the door lock pillar, close to the driver's seat.

As someone who frequently helps friends with vehicle issues, I must say the location of the FAW Jiefang's VIN is actually quite common. It's usually most visible at the lower left corner of the front windshield. I've checked many similar models, like some FAW light trucks, and it's printed right there. If you can't find it, there's also a metal plate near the firewall in the engine compartment, or you can check the label under the B-pillar by opening the left front door. Every time I help someone register insurance, I suggest not rushing—popping the hood or checking under the seats is the most practical approach. If all else fails, the user manual clearly marks it, and it only takes a minute or two to locate. Just remember not to cut your hands while checking—it's not complicated, and the location is definitely accurate.

From a family user's perspective, I must remind you: the vehicle frame number is the VIN code, and for safety reasons, it's crucial to memorize its location. On small Jiefang trucks, it's usually located on the inner side of the lower right corner of the front windshield, very close to the driver's seat. Before taking my kids out, I always check this, along with glancing at the nameplates on the engine hood or near the door sills. If dust makes it hard to see, just wipe it with a damp cloth to reveal the number—it's not much different from other cars in the home garage. Once found, jot it down and keep it in your phone for easy handling in case of an accident. Don’t worry about the time—checking takes just five minutes, much better than worrying on the road.

During car repairs, I've seen many FAW Jiefang models, and their VIN locations are quite similar. For the smaller Jiefang trucks, head straight to the lower left corner of the windshield to check the VIN label, or look for the plate on the front beam in the engine compartment. The sticker on the inner door pillar is a secondary option—just open the driver's door and scan around. If you're still unsure, flip to the relevant page in the user manual where there's a diagram; it's much quicker than dismantling parts.
