Here are the methods to locate the VIN and engine model number: 1. The VIN is located on the left side of the windshield; 2. The engine number is positioned at the lower right rear of the engine. Additionally, the engine model is also noted on the driver's license and the factory certificate. Below is an introduction to the VIN and engine number: 1. The VIN is a 17-character code composed of letters and numbers, also known as the 17-digit identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. The combination of the vehicle identification code ensures that no two vehicles of the same model will have the same number within 30 years, providing a unique identifier for the vehicle, hence it can be referred to as the 'car's ID card'. The vehicle identification code (VIN) on the driver's license is the chassis number. 2. The engine model number is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, industry or company conventions, and the attributes of the engine, to a batch of identical products. It represents information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and batch of the engine, including details like fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and static braking power.

What does coupe mean?

Coupe refers to a closed-body, streamlined two-door, two-seater sedan that closely resembles a regular sedan in appearance while offering the comfort of a passenger car. Coupes place greater emphasis on driver comfort and handling, featuring a lower body height, smooth exterior lines, and a shared chassis with conventional sedans, with a front-mounted engine. The distinctive characteristics of a coupe's design include: 1. The passenger compartment is relatively reduced in the three-segment proportion, making the front and rear sections appear elongated, resulting in an overall slender shape; 2. The rear part of the roof, rear window, and rear trunk form a continuous curve, creating only two segments: the front and the middle passenger compartment.

Can I Turn on the Air Conditioning Without Turning Off the Engine?

You should not turn on the air conditioning without turning off the engine, as it can cause damage to the vehicle. The effects of running the air conditioning without turning off the engine are: 1. It causes the vehicle to start with the air conditioning compressor engaged during the next startup, increasing the load and potentially harming the engine over time; 2. Prolonged idling can produce toxic gases, which may enter the cabin through the air conditioning system, posing a risk of poisoning. The hazards of not turning off the engine include: 1. Increased carbon buildup on pistons and valves, leading to unstable idling; 2. Negative impact on the engine's power performance and lifespan; 3. Poor fuel atomization, resulting in incomplete combustion; 4. Increased leakage in valves and piston rings; 5. Accelerated wear and tear on mechanical components.

Why Can't the Key Turn When Inserted into the Car?
