Refine's VIN number is located under the rear of the passenger seat, as well as on the lower left corner of the front windshield and inside the engine compartment. Here is some relevant information about the VIN number: 1. Code composition: (1) World Manufacturer Identifier, WMI; (2) Vehicle Descriptor Section, VDS; (3) Vehicle Identifier Section, VIS. 2. Code content: (1) World Manufacturer Identifier: The first character indicates a geographic region (letter or number), the second character indicates a specific country within that region (letter or number), and the third character identifies a specific manufacturer; (2) Vehicle Descriptor Section: This section identifies the general characteristics of the vehicle, with the order of codes determined by the manufacturer; (3) Vehicle Identifier Section: The first character indicates the year, the second character indicates the assembly plant or other manufacturer-specific information. For manufacturers with an annual production ≥500 units, characters 3-8 represent the production sequence number. For manufacturers with an annual production <500 units, characters 3-5 together with the first three characters of the WMI identify a specific vehicle manufacturer.
My own car is a Hyundai Verna, and the VIN is usually easy to find. The most common location is at the lower left corner of the front windshield, clearly visible from the outside when you look down. There, you'll find a white or black label with a 17-digit alphanumeric combination. Additionally, when you open the driver's door, there's another label on the door pillar displaying the same VIN. There might be a third spot near the firewall under the hood, but it's not necessary to check often. Whenever I go for registration or insurance, I just look at the windshield label—it's quite convenient. Remember to keep that area clean and free of dust to avoid covering the numbers. If the windshield gets damaged, repair it promptly to prevent any inconvenience. Overall, the location is well-designed, simple, and easy to remember.
When dealing with vehicles, the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a crucial element that needs to be located promptly. For the Hyundai Verna, the VIN is primarily found at the lower left corner of the windshield, easily visible. You can also check the label on the driver's door side; open the door and inspect the B-pillar area. Some models may have a backup label under the hood, but it's harder to find. I recommend starting with the windshield for a quick and effortless check. Additionally, the VIN is used for registration or accident records, and its fixed location makes maintenance straightforward. Avoid guessing its location to save time. Ensure the number is clear and readable to prevent any issues.
