The VIN of the Haval M6 can be found at the bottom of the windshield on the driver's side. Introduction to the VIN: The VIN, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number, is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code that serves as the car's identification. Each vehicle has its own unique VIN. The letters and numbers in the VIN represent information such as the vehicle's production region, manufacturer, production year, model, etc. VIN Positions 1-3 (WMI): WMI stands for World Manufacturer Identifier. The first character represents the country or region where the vehicle was manufactured, while the second and third characters indicate the manufacturer and vehicle type.

The lower left corner of the windshield is absolutely the most prominent location. If you crouch down to eye level with the dashboard, you can see that 17-digit alphanumeric code. During vehicle inspections, workers usually check here first. Additionally, there’s also a nameplate recording the VIN on the B-pillar of the passenger door frame. If the windshield has been replaced and the label is missing, don’t panic—open the engine hood and check the stamped metal part on the firewall, located behind the battery bracket. I’ve even seen mechanics wipe off grease with a cloth to reveal the stamped code clearly. Furthermore, the vehicle registration and insurance policy copies definitely have complete records, especially when buying or selling a used car—you’ll need to verify that the information from these three sources matches perfectly.

As a used car dealer with extensive experience, there are at least four reliable ways to check the VIN of a Haval M6. The transparent sticker at the bottom left of the windshield on the driver's side is the first choice, followed by the information label pasted at the door hinge area on the passenger side. However, the most original data is in the engine compartment—use your phone's flashlight to check the stamped steel imprint on the firewall behind the battery. If all the above are worn out, refer to the front page record of the vehicle conformity certificate. A reminder: the VIN in all locations must be the same 17-digit characters, and pay special attention to verifying that the 10th digit, the year code, corresponds to the purchase year to avoid buying a salvaged or refurbished vehicle.

The repair shop technician tells you: The metal frame number of the Haval M6 is very conspicuous in the engine compartment. Lift the hood, face the engine, and look towards the left front. There is a laser engraving on the body longitudinal beam behind the battery. This location is more reliable than the label on the windshield—last time, a customer had their front windshield replaced and the label was damaged, so we relied on this steel stamp for accident vehicle inspection. Additionally, the VIN is also printed on the top right corner of the first page of the vehicle registration certificate.

Just helped a friend inspect a Haval M6. The VIN label at the bottom left of the windshield requires squatting to see clearly. However, the most crucial inspection point is in the engine bay: remove the washer fluid reservoir cover, and you'll find embossed codes about 0.5mm deep on the firewall steel plate, approximately 15cm behind the battery bracket. Remember to bring a flashlight, as this area tends to accumulate dust. Also, make sure to cross-check the first three letters of the chassis number on the spot with the vehicle registration certificate.

Is It Correct to Start the Engine in P Gear?

Starting the engine in P gear is correct. After shifting into P gear, the pawl gear at the end of the output shaft will engage and lock the output shaft. This effectively cuts off the power connection between the transmission and the wheels, preventing them from rotating in the same direction. Starting in P gear will not cause the vehicle to jerk forward or roll backward. P gear stands for "Parking," meaning it is used for parking. When you reach your destination or need to park for an extended period, shift the gear lever into this position. Note: You must ensure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into P gear. Shifting into P gear before the vehicle has come to a complete stop can damage parts of the automatic transmission. When in P gear, the wheels are mechanically locked, preventing the vehicle from moving forward or backward. Therefore, it is essential to shift into P gear when parking on an incline. Additionally, during short stops (e.g., at traffic lights), it is best not to shift into P gear to avoid severe damage to the entire transmission in case of a rear-end collision. Besides P gear, automatic transmission vehicles also have other gear positions such as R, N, S, M, L, and D, each with different gear combinations that deliver varying power outputs. Depending on the vehicle's speed, you need to "shift gears" to select the appropriate gear combination for power delivery. Below is a detailed explanation: R gear: "Reverse" means to go backward. Whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, R is the reverse gear. Shifting into R gear allows the vehicle to move backward. This gear should only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is idling. Never use R gear while the vehicle is moving forward, and pay special attention to accelerator control when reversing. N gear: "Neutral" means the transmission is disengaged, also known as the neutral gear. At traffic lights, you can shift into this gear and press the brake pedal. If the wait is longer, it is recommended to engage the handbrake, allowing your foot to rest off the brake pedal. A common misconception is that shifting into N gear while coasting downhill or at high speeds saves fuel. This is a serious mistake—it not only fails to save fuel but can also damage the transmission. S gear: "Sport" refers to the sport mode in vehicles. When this gear is engaged, the transmission delays shifting to provide more power, typically used when overtaking. M gear: "Manual" means switching to manual mode, similar to operating a manual transmission vehicle, requiring manual gear shifting. L gear: "Low" stands for the low-speed forward gear. When this gear is engaged, the transmission operates only in low gear (equivalent to first gear in a manual transmission) and does not automatically shift to other gears based on speed changes. This gear is generally used when climbing or descending steep slopes. In low gear, the drive wheels deliver higher torque, ensuring sufficient power for climbing steep inclines. Prolonged braking can overheat the brake pads, reducing braking effectiveness, which is particularly dangerous on long descents or steep slopes. Shifting into L gear allows the engine's low RPM to restrain the vehicle's movement, eliminating the need for constant braking. D gear: "Drive" means the vehicle moves forward when the accelerator is pressed. In this gear, the transmission automatically shifts based on speed and throttle conditions. At traffic lights, you can remain in D gear while pressing the brake pedal. This is fine for short waits, but prolonged idling in D gear can raise transmission fluid temperature and degrade its quality.

What to Do When Unable to Align the Left Rearview Mirror with the Yellow Line Accurately?

Left rearview mirror with yellow line alignment issues can be caused by improperly adjusted seat position, inability to identify reference points, or incorrect steering timing. Improperly adjusted seat position: To accurately align the left rearview mirror with the yellow line, the seat back position must be fixed, and the viewing point must remain unchanged. The viewing position should also be consistent to ensure accuracy every time. Inability to identify reference points: Since everyone's height and seating position vary, reference points will differ. One method is to reverse the car into the parking space first, then get out to check if the car body is within the lines. Once properly positioned, get back in the car to find a suitable reference point. Incorrect steering timing: During the reversing process, when the lower edge of the rearview mirror aligns with the yellow line, immediately turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Due to height differences, taller individuals may need to steer earlier, while shorter individuals may need to steer slightly later.

What does S-CVT mean?

S-CVT can be understood as an improved version of the CVT transmission, inheriting the advantages of the CVT transmission while also addressing its shortcomings. Here is some extended information about CVT: 1. Introduction: CVT refers to a type of automotive transmission, also known as a continuously variable transmission. The difference between a CVT and a stepped transmission is that its gear ratio is not a series of discrete points but a continuous range of values, which results in excellent fuel economy, power performance, and smooth driving, while also reducing emissions and costs. 2. Principle: Unlike a conventional transmission, which uses multiple sets of gears of varying sizes that engage and disengage to create different gear ratios, a CVT operates similarly to a bicycle's pedal system, where the chain drives the wheel at different speeds via large and small sprockets. The varying forces applied to the gears result in different thrust levels, causing the transmission's output speed to change accordingly, thereby achieving smooth, stepless rotation.

Why Does an Automatic Transmission Vehicle Emit Heavy White Smoke When Accelerating Hard?

Here are the specific reasons why an automatic transmission vehicle emits heavy white smoke when accelerating hard: 1. Insufficient Temperature: Due to the engine not reaching the proper temperature, some of the fuel-air mixture injected into the cylinders fails to combust, resulting in white smoke from the exhaust pipe. Therefore, after starting the engine, it's important to maintain the radiator's warmth and operate at moderate throttle until the engine temperature exceeds 50 degrees before gradually increasing the load. 2. Water in Diesel: The presence of water in diesel directly affects the normal combustion of the fuel-air mixture, causing white smoke. In this case, the sediment should be drained, and any accumulated water should be removed. If necessary, replace the diesel fuel. 3. Cylinder Head Damage: If the exhaust pipe continues to emit white smoke, it may indicate damage to the cylinder head or gasket of certain cylinders, allowing water to enter. These components should be inspected and replaced if damaged. Additionally, if the intake valve does not close properly, white smoke may also appear, requiring inspection and repair.

Will I be penalized for speeding when overtaking?

Speeding when overtaking will result in penalties. Traffic laws stipulate that the maximum speed limit of the road must never be exceeded at any time, so even when overtaking, speeding is not allowed. If caught, you will face demerit points and fines. The following are the penalties for speeding while driving: 1. Speeding less than 10%: No demerit points or fines. 2. Speeding between 10% and less than 20%: Fine and 3 demerit points. 3. Speeding between 20% and less than 50%: Fine and 6 demerit points. 4. Speeding 50% or more: Fine, 12 demerit points, and revocation of the driver's license.

Do I need to pay for the first attempt at Subject 2?

The first attempt at Subject 2 does not require additional payment as it is already included in the registration fee. If you fail, you are entitled to one free retake. If you still don't pass, you will need to reschedule the exam and pay an additional fee. Here is some extended information: 1. Subject 2: Also known as the small road test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test. For small vehicles C1 and C2, the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving. 2. Relevant regulations: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," each subject can be taken once, and if the test is failed, one retake is allowed. If the retake is not attended or is still failed, the current test session is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the exam. However, for Subject 2 and Subject 3, rescheduling must be done at least ten days later. If the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the previously passed road driving skill test scores remain valid.
