VEHICLE SAFETY CERTIFICATION LABEL

2. This label indicates Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (G.V.W.R.), Gross Axle Weight Rating (G.A.W.R.) front, rear and Vehicle Identification Number (V.I.N.).

ENGINE MODEL STAMPING







1. The engine model number is stamped at the front side on the top edge of the cylinder block as shown in the figure.




2. The engine serial number is stamped near the engine model number.




THEFT PROTECTION
In order to protect against theft, a Vehicle Identification Number (V.I.N.) is stamped in, or attached as a label to, the major parts of the engine and transaxle, as well as main outer panels:
Engine cylinder block, Transaxle housing. Fender, Door, Quarter panel, Hood, Trunk lid, Bumpers

In addition, a theft-protection label is attached to replacement parts for the body outer panel main components, and the same data are stamped into replacement parts for the engine and the transaxle.

Cautions regarding panel repairs:
1. When repainting original parts, do so after first masking the theft-protection label, and, after painting, be sure to peel off the masking tape.
2. The theft-protection label for replacement parts is covered by masking tape, so such parts can be painted as is. The masking tape should be removed after painting is finished.
3. The theft-protection label should not be removed from original parts or replacement parts.
