Where is the Renault VIN located?
2 Answers
Renault Scenic's VIN is located in two positions: one on the side of the passenger door, and the other under the spare tire in the trunk. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. VIN: Also known as the Vehicle Identification Number, it is a unique code assigned for identification purposes. It consists of a 17-character alphanumeric code. The combination of the vehicle identification code ensures that no two vehicles of the same model will have the same number within 30 years, providing a unique identification for the vehicle, hence it can be referred to as the 'car's ID card'. 2. VIN location: Except for trailers and motorcycles, it can be found on the door hinge pillar, door lock post, or the pillar where the door lock is attached, close to the driver's seat; fixed on the left side of the dashboard; fixed on the inside of the door, near the driver's seat, where it should be easily readable without moving any parts of the vehicle other than the outer door. In China, the VIN of most cars can be found on the left side of the dashboard or below the windshield.
I remember driving a Renault for several years, so I'm quite familiar with the VIN location. For most Renault models, it's located at the lower left corner of the windshield (from the driver's perspective, the left side at the bottom of the glass) where there's a small label that's usually clearly visible. Sometimes when it's humid or dusty and obstructs the view, I simply wipe the window area gently with a damp cloth. There's also a backup location in the engine compartment – after opening the hood, look for stamped numbers on the engine mount or firewall. The inner door frame (visible when you open the door, where a sticker is placed) is another common backup spot. Don't panic if you can't find it; the vehicle registration certificate or insurance policy definitely has it recorded. The VIN is extremely important – I always use it to verify vehicle information during transfers or repairs to prevent mistakes. I recommend new owners make memorizing this location their first priority and develop a habit of checking it regularly.
