During the registration process, the vehicle certificate of conformity will be collected. To register a vehicle, the owner must provide the certificate of conformity, which will be stored in the vehicle's file and kept by the vehicle management office. The documents required for vehicle registration include: 1. Motor vehicle registration form and data collection form. 2. Proof of ownership (company certificate or original and copy of resident ID card and household register). 3. Vehicle inspection form. 4. Copy of additional fee payment voucher and receipt. 5. Four color photos of the vehicle. 6. Vehicle factory certificate of conformity and purchase invoice. Additional information: 1. Essential documents for registration: The certificate of conformity is another important document for the vehicle and is essential for registration. Only vehicles with a certificate of conformity meet the national requirements for motor vehicle equipment quality and related standards. 2. The only legal identifier of the vehicle: The vehicle certificate of conformity is the only legal identifier for checking the engine number, frame number, product certificate of conformity, and manufacturing date, among other details. Understanding the manufacturing date helps determine if the vehicle is overstocked and verifies the time from production to sale. The numbers on the certificate of conformity must match the engine number and frame number on the vehicle.

I remember when I registered my new car, the vehicle conformity certificate was officially collected and archived by the staff at the DMV. They explained that this was a necessary part of the registration process, as they use it to verify whether the vehicle meets national emission and safety standards. After registration was completed, I received the vehicle license and license plates, but the original conformity certificate remained at the DMV. I recommend making a copy before registration as a backup, in case you need to refer to it for future maintenance or resale. Also, make sure to bring the car purchase invoice and your ID card, as this will make the entire registration process smoother. If the original document isn’t submitted, it might mistakenly appear as if the procedure is incomplete, causing trouble. In short, the DMV will keep the documents safe, so you can drive with peace of mind—just remember to keep other copies secure.

As a long-time car owner, I've gone through the vehicle registration process multiple times, and each time the certificate of conformity is a mandatory document to be submitted to the DMV. The staff will receive the original certificate for record-keeping purposes and then issue the vehicle license to the owner. This step is standard procedure to ensure all vehicle information is legally and compliantly entered into the system. If you receive the original certificate back after registration, you should immediately inquire about the reason, as it might indicate missing procedures. Additionally, keeping a photocopy for your records is highly useful, as it may be required for future annual inspections or ownership transfers. Make sure to verify all documents are complete before registration to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth trips, ensuring the entire process can be completed efficiently.

During the vehicle registration process, the Certificate of Conformity is indeed required to be submitted. The DMV staff will use it for record-keeping to certify the vehicle's compliance, after which the owner will receive the vehicle registration certificate. The original certificate will not be returned, so it's advisable to make a photocopy in advance. The registration procedure is straightforward, but submitting the documents correctly is crucial, as any oversight may lead to subsequent issues such as difficulties in vehicle verification. If you have any doubts, it's best to confirm directly with the DMV.

When I registered my vehicle, the certificate of conformity was collected for archiving, and the staff said this was standard procedure. If you still have the original after registration, immediately check if it's a duplicate or mistakenly taken, as it may affect vehicle resale or insurance approval. It's recommended to make a photocopy for your records and ensure that the invoice and ID card are complete to avoid delays due to missing documents. After registration, what you receive is the vehicle license, while the certificate of conformity remains with the DMV as part of the records.

What to Do When the Exclamation Mark Warning Light on the Vehicle Dashboard Illuminates?

When an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are five possible scenarios: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, brake system failure, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting malfunction. Below is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General Malfunction: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a general performance or component malfunction if this symbol lights up. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the malfunction. Automatic Transmission Failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission fluid level below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Failure: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, typically indicating brake system failure or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line with parentheses below and an exclamation mark in the middle signifies the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the vehicle's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Malfunction: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting malfunction indicator, alerting that a vehicle light has failed. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.

Is the Tire Pressure Monitoring in Cars Accurate?

The tire pressure monitoring in cars is accurate.

The matching method for tire pressure monitoring is as follows: 1. Press and hold the setting button on the display for about 3 seconds until a beep is heard, after which the front left tire will blink; 2. Bring the display close to the sensor, and the display will automatically receive the sensor's ID. Once the ID is received, press the OK button; 3. Press SET to move to other tires, bring the display close to the other sensors one by one, and debug them sequentially.
