The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the 10th-generation Accord is located on the engine block, near the driver's side. The VIN serves as the car's unique identifier, determined according to national vehicle management standards. It contains information about the vehicle's manufacturer, production year, model, body type and code, engine code, and assembly location. Taking the Accord 2021 260TURBO Luxury·Starlight Limited Edition as an example: This vehicle is manufactured by GAC Honda, classified as a mid-size car, with a gasoline energy type, equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission, featuring a 4-door 5-seat sedan body type, and a top speed of 190 kilometers per hour.

As an owner of the 10th-generation Accord, I've been driving it for several years, and the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) location is incredibly easy to find. Typically, it's embedded at the lower left corner of the driver's side windshield, visible from outside the car through the glass as a 17-digit code. Every time I go for maintenance at the dealership or handle insurance matters, staff members scan it directly there, saving a lot of hassle. If the windshield is dirty or the label is worn, don't worry—there are backup stickers on the door pillar or nameplates in the engine compartment. The VIN is super important; it can reveal the car's model year, manufacturing location, and even service records. Always verify it clearly before purchasing to avoid problematic vehicles. I recommend new owners download a connected car app to store their VIN for easy access, preventing travel disruptions due to temporary unavailability.

What are the effects of a car being exposed to rain for a day?

The main effects of a car being exposed to rain for a day are: 1. The car's paint surface may be corroded: In China, pollution is widespread, and some areas are heavily polluted, resulting in rain that is mostly acid rain. Therefore, rain exposure means the car paint is directly exposed to acid rain, which can corrode the paint, leading to rain marks, oxidation, and even cracking. 2. Dampness and mold: Compared to sunny days, the interior of the car is more prone to dampness and mold after rain. Additionally, rainwater can seep into the car's seams, causing metal parts to rust and corrode. Therefore, after the rain stops, accumulated moisture should be removed as soon as possible to prevent mold growth. 3. Bacterial growth: It is well known that bacteria thrive in damp environments, and the more humid the area, the faster bacteria multiply, especially during the rainy season. In dry conditions, ventilation can help maintain air circulation inside the car. However, during the rainy season, avoid opening windows for ventilation, as this can lead to rapid bacterial growth inside the car. 4. Rainwater entering the headlights: Water in the headlights can affect their brightness, and excessive water may even damage them. It can also alter the direction of light refraction, posing a safety hazard while driving.

Why is Water Flowing from the Exhaust Pipe?

Water flowing from the exhaust pipe is a normal physical phenomenon. Under ideal conditions, gasoline completely burns to produce carbon dioxide and gaseous water. The gaseous water condenses in the exhaust pipe to form liquid water, which is then expelled through the exhaust pipe once it reaches a certain volume. This 'perfect combustion' characteristic only occurs when the engine is operating under ideal conditions, so there is no need for concern. There are two other scenarios where water may appear: 1. When water vapor is injected, it evaporates and condenses into droplets in the exhaust pipe, leading to water expulsion. This is commonly observed when starting a car parked during winter or the rainy season, where white smoke may also be seen from the exhaust pipe. However, once the engine warms up, the white smoke will disappear, and no repair is necessary. 2. Large amounts of white smoke emitted from the exhaust pipe are also water vapor, but this is due to water mixing into the combustion process rather than being a product of complete gasoline combustion. Therefore, if the exhaust pipe emits significant water vapor, the owner should check for water accumulation in the fuel tank, inspect whether the cylinder gasket is damaged, if there are cracks in the cylinder block, and whether the cylinder liner sealing ring is in good condition.

How to Observe Reference Points for Curve Driving in Driving Test Subject 2?

Driving Test Subject 2 curve driving reference point observation methods are as follows: 1. After entering the S-curve, pay attention to observe. When the hood overlaps with the right-side curve, steer one full turn to the left; 2. As the vehicle continues forward, when the left front of the car overlaps with the right-side curve, steer half a turn to the left, then make slight adjustments to keep the front of the car always overlapping with the curve; 3. Before entering the right curve, observe carefully. When the left front of the car aligns with the left-side curve, straighten the steering wheel; 4. When the vehicle enters the right curve, and one-third of the left front hood aligns with the curve, steer one full turn to the right; 5. Continue observing. When the right front of the car overlaps with the left-side curve, start steering half a turn to the right, then make slight adjustments to keep the front of the car always overlapping with the left-side curve; 6. Exit the curve driving with the front of the car straight and the steering wheel centered.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the 2007 Odyssey 2.4?

The average fuel consumption of the 2007 Odyssey 2.4 with automatic transmission is 10.19L/100km, but normal fuel consumption should be based on actual usage as it is related to multiple factors. The main factors include the following situations: 1. Cold start: When starting a cold engine, do not artificially extend the warm-up time, as it will have the opposite effect. Just pay attention not to drive at high speed immediately after ignition. You should drive slowly for a few minutes and then gradually increase the speed. In winter, the slow driving time can be extended slightly. 2. Incorrect driving: Improper driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and hard braking are the most common issues. Experts conducted fuel consumption tests during acceleration driving. After the vehicle entered the test section at a constant speed, the test driver fully pressed the accelerator to complete the specified distance. It was found that fuel consumption increased by 2 to 3 times compared to driving at a constant speed.

How Many Kilometers for the Break-in Period of a Family Car?

A new car is considered to have passed its break-in period after traveling 5,000 kilometers. Generally, the first 5,000 kilometers of a new car are regarded as the break-in period. Engine considerations during break-in: During the break-in period, friction between engine components may generate some metal shavings. Driving at excessively high speeds can cause the engine to rev too high, potentially leading to cylinder damage. Break-in period precautions: The key points during a new car's break-in period are maintaining steady speeds, avoiding sudden acceleration or braking, and preventing high RPMs. After completing the break-in period, it's recommended to drive at highway speeds. Additionally, pay attention to any unusual noises. If there are installation or configuration issues with components, remember to address them during the first free maintenance service. After this period expires, repairs for certain damaged components may not be free.

What Causes a Three-Way Catalytic Converter to Fail?

The causes of three-way catalytic converter failure include: 1. Use of leaded gasoline: Tetraethyl lead in leaded gasoline causes significant environmental and human health pollution and damage. It also deposits on the active surfaces of the oxygen sensor and catalytic converter in the catalytic device, leading to 'lead poisoning' of the oxygen sensor and greatly reducing the purification efficiency of the three-way catalytic purification device until it is damaged. Long-term use of leaded gasoline can even clog the honeycomb catalytic converter in the catalytic device with tetraethyl lead. 2. Use of lubricants or additives containing lead, silicon, or phosphorus: If harmful components mixed in the lubricant come into contact with the catalytic conversion device, it can also cause the three-way catalytic device to fail. 3. Use of sealants containing harmful components like lead and silicon: Engine repairs often require the use of many sealants. However, if sealants containing the aforementioned harmful components are applied to areas such as the intake manifold gasket or oil pan gasket, it can poison or even disable the three-way catalytic device. 4. Overheating of the three-way catalytic converter: The working temperature of the three-way catalytic device usually should not exceed 800°C. If a cylinder in the engine has poor combustion, the exhaust will contain excessive unburned fuel gases, which can cause the three-way catalytic device to fail or be damaged due to a significant increase in working temperature. 5. Severe impact: A strong collision can break the catalytic converter core and render it useless.
