Where is the stamped number on the Cadillac SRX?
2 Answers
The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) of the Cadillac SRX is located on the upper mount of the right front shock absorber, while the engine number is found on the left side of the engine, at the junction between the oil pan and the engine block. The VIN is the car's identification code, a unique set of numbers assigned by the manufacturer to identify the vehicle, much like a person's ID number. This code consists of 17 alphanumeric characters. Additional Information: Manufacturers that assign and mark Vehicle Identification Numbers must register with the Standardization Institute of the China Automotive Technology and Research Center at least one month before first use. Any changes to the content, format, or location of a previously registered VIN must be re-registered with the Standardization Institute at least one month before the sale of the first vehicle bearing the modified identification number.
I've been driving a Cadillac SRX for several years, so I'm quite familiar with finding the VIN number. Crouch down at the lower left corner of the windshield on the driver's side, and you'll see the stamped number clearly. You can also find it on the inner side of the engine hood—just open it and check the right side. There's a sticker with the VIN on the inner frame of the passenger door, but the stamped number is usually more securely placed near the door frame or seats. During annual inspections or ownership transfers, they always check the VIN, so I recommend checking it regularly to prevent dust from covering it. When I bought my car last time, I relied on it to verify the information. Other car owners mentioned that sometimes the VIN plate might be loose or worn, so it's good to wipe it with a cleaning cloth to ensure safe driving. Overall, the windshield area is the most convenient—don't overlook that spot.
