Where is the VIN located on a Dongfeng Nissan vehicle?
2 Answers
The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) of a Dongfeng Nissan vehicle is located at the lower left corner of the driver's side windshield. It starts with English letters and consists of a 17-character alphanumeric code. Taking the Teana as an example: LGBF1AE0********* First 3 digits: LGB represents Dongfeng Nissan. 4th digit: F represents the Teana model. 5th digit: 1 represents a four-door sedan. 6th digit: A represents 2.0L; C represents 2.3L; D represents 2.5L; H represents 3.5L. 7th digit: Restraint system type, E represents multiple airbags. 8th digit: 0 represents automatic transmission. 9th digit: Check digit. 10th digit: Model year. 11th digit: Assembly plant code. Digits 12-17: Production sequence number.
When I bought my Dongfeng Nissan car, I specifically asked the salesperson where the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) was located. He said it's mainly on the lower left corner of the windshield, that transparent area in front of the driver's seat. If you look down, you'll see a small metal plate with a 17-digit combination of numbers and letters engraved on it. I've also checked inside the bumper in the trunk, but it's rarely there. Sometimes there might be a small label near the radiator in the engine compartment. I remember last year when I needed to buy car insurance, I simply opened the driver's door and found the VIN on the edge of the door frame's nameplate, saving me the trouble of digging out documents. Why is it important to remember this? The VIN helps identify the vehicle's true identity, preventing you from buying a car that's been in an accident or stolen. If you really can't find it, don't force it—check the user manual or contact the 4S dealership. They all know the exact locations, but just don't share it publicly to avoid information leaks. I recommend new car owners check and take a photo of it with their phones before taking delivery.
