Video tutorial

In this video, you will see where to find the legal chassis number (VIN) on the Opel Insignia MK1. The legal chassis number is stamped directly on the vehicle's chassis, not the number on the windscreen label (that is a courtesy number, used only for moving vehicles until they have a registration plate) and not the metal plate affixed by the manufacturer on the driver's door frame (that is the vehicle's identifier at the time of production; it includes the engine number and other useful data).

The chassis number (which for Opels always starts with WOL) can be found at the hinge of the bonnet, right in the centre.

How to reset the Service light on a 2019 Jeep Renegade?

The Service light, depicted as a yellow spanner, illuminates as scheduled to remind the driver that it is time for scheduled maintenance. This means that the set mileage has been reached, or the expected time has passed. The procedure involves turning on the instrument cluster, pressing the accelerator three times, and then turning off the ignition. After this, keep the brake pressed, turn the ignition back on, and then turn it off again. Upon the next ignition, you will notice that the light has been reset.
