The brand and model of the vehicle are indicated on the vehicle's nameplate, and the location may vary slightly depending on the model. In most cases, you can find the vehicle brand and model in the engine compartment, the lower part of the passenger-side door, or the left side of the dashboard. The vehicle brand and model can also be found in the car owner's manual or the insurance policy. Here is some relevant information about the vehicle nameplate: 1. The vehicle nameplate records more detailed information about the car, such as the brand, engine displacement, power, and VIN code. Another crucial function of the nameplate is that it can be used to determine the vehicle's age based on the manufacturing date listed on it. 2. The VIN code is like the vehicle's ID card. It consists of seventeen alphanumeric characters, and each vehicle's VIN code is essentially unique. The VIN code includes information such as the manufacturer, year, model code, engine code, and production location. It can also be used to check if the vehicle has been involved in any traffic accidents. In certain special cases, the VIN can be used to accurately identify your vehicle. During traffic violations, traffic police departments can also use the VIN code to issue penalties.

What is the normal tire pressure for cars in kPa?

Car tire pressure is considered normal within the range of 230 to 250 kPa, but the specific normal tire pressure should be based on the manufacturer's recommended value. You can find the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure in the vehicle's user manual, on the label near the driver's side door (B-pillar), in the drawer next to the driver's seat, or on the fuel tank cap. The standard tire pressure also depends on the type of tire and the vehicle model, as different models have varying weights, heights, and tire sizes, which require different tire pressures. The standard tire pressure for standard tires is 240 kPa to 250 kPa, while reinforced tires have a recommended pressure of 280 kPa to 290 kPa.

How to Check a Car's VIN Number?

Car's VIN number is generally located at the lower left corner of the front windshield, or on the driver's side door hinge pillar, door lock pillar, or door edge, all of which are relatively visible locations. It can also be found in the engine compartment. If it is not found in these places, it might be fixed on the inner side of the door near the driver's seat. The VIN, short for Vehicle Identification Number, is a unique set of numbers used on a car to identify the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications. To avoid confusion with the numbers 1, 0, and 9, the letters "I", "O", and "Q" are not used. The 10th digit, representing the model year, does not use "I", "O", "Q", "U", "Z", or "0".

What does auto window mean?

auto window refers to the one-touch up/down function of the car window. Press and release the button to lower all windows with one touch, and lift and release the button to raise all windows with one touch. One-touch windows usually have an anti-pinch function. During the automatic closing operation, if an object is caught between the glass and the window frame, the window closing operation will automatically stop midway and return to its initial state. Some cars only have the one-touch up/down function for the driver's window, while others have this function for both the driver and passenger windows. The one-touch window function is mainly designed for the convenience of the driver and passengers, avoiding distractions caused by manually operating the windows and improving safety. The one-touch window indicators vary among different car models, and most currently use the "auto" English label.
