Where to Find the Legal VIN of the Mazda CX-5

Model: Mazda CX-5 MK 2 - Years 2017-2024
Part: Checks and maintenance

The legal VIN of a vehicle is stamped on the vehicle's chassis. This is what you will need to show to the DVLA during inspections or to the police if they decide to carry out a cross-check with your vehicle's registration document. It is not the label placed on the driver's side corresponding to the windscreen. That is just a courtesy label used to move the vehicle until it has a registration plate. In the case of the Mazda CX-5, the VIN is located under the mat on the passenger side, beneath a plastic label that lifts up to easily reveal the complete 17-digit chassis number.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
