VEHICLE SAFETY

CERTIFICATION LABEL

DESCRIPTION

A vehicle safety certification label (Fig. 1) is

attached to every DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehi-

cle. The label certifies that the vehicle conforms to all

applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

The label also lists:

•Month and year of vehicle manufacture.

•Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The gross

front and rear axle weight ratings (GAWR’s) are

based on a minimum rim size and maximum cold tire

inflation pressure.

•Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

•Type of vehicle.

•Type of rear wheels.

•Bar code.

•Month, Day and Hour (MDH) of final assembly.

•Paint and Trim codes.

•Country of origin.

The label is located on the driver-side door shut-

face.

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION

NUMBER

DESCRIPTION

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) plate is

located on the lower windshield fence near the left

A-pillar. The VIN contains 17 characters that provide

data concerning the vehicle. Refer to the VIN decod-

ing chart to determine the identification of a vehicle.

The Vehicle Identification Number is also

imprinted on the:

•Vehicle Safety Certification Label.

•Frame rail.

To protect the consumer from theft and possible

fraud the manufacturer is required to include a

Check Digit at the ninth position of the Vehicle Iden-

tification Number. The check digit is used by the

manufacturer and government agencies to verify the

authenticity of the vehicle and official documenta-

tion. The formula to use the check digit is not

released to the general public.

VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL

INFORMATION (VECI) LABEL

DESCRIPTION

All models have a Vehicle Emission Control Infor-

mation (VECI) Label. DaimlerChrysler permanently

attaches the label in the engine compartment (Fig.

2). It cannot be removed without defacing informa-

tion and destroying the label.

The label contains the vehicle’s emission specifica-

tions and vacuum hose routings. All hoses must be

connected and routed according to the label.

The VECI label contains the following:

•Engine family and displacement

•Evaporative family

•Emission control system schematic

•Certification application

•Engine timing specifications (if adjustable)

•Idle speeds (if adjustable)

•Spark plug and gap

The label also contains an engine vacuum sche-

matic. These labels are permanently attached and

cannot be removed without defacing information and

destroying label.

BODY CODE PLATE

DESCRIPTION

BODY CODE PLATE

A metal body code plate is attached to the floor pan

under the drivers seat (Fig. 3). Disengage the snaps

attaching the carpet to the floor pan to read the

information. There are seven lines of information on

the body code plate. Lines 4, 5, 6, and 7 are not used

to define service information. Information reads from

left to right, starting with line 3 in the center of the

plate to line 1 at the bottom of the plate (Fig. 4).

The last code imprinted on a vehicle code plate will

be followed by the imprinted word END. When two

vehicle code plates are required, the last available

spaces on the first plate will be imprinted with the

letters CTD (for continued).

When a second vehicle code plate is necessary, the

first four spaces on each row will not be used because

of the plate overlap.

FASTENER IDENTIFICATION

DESCRIPTION

The SAE bolt strength grades range from grade 2

to grade 8. The higher the grade number, the greater

the bolt strength. Identification is determined by the

line marks on the top of each bolt head. The actual

bolt strength grade corresponds to the number of line

marks plus 2. The most commonly used metric bolt

strength classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The metric

strength class identification number is imprinted on

the head of the bolt. The higher the class number,

the greater the bolt strength. Some metric nuts are

imprinted with a single-digit strength class on the

nut face. Refer to the Fastener Identification and

Fastener Strength Charts (Fig. 6) and (Fig. 7).

FASTENER USAGE

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION - FASTENER USAGE

WARNING: USE OF AN INCORRECT FASTENER

MAY RESULT IN COMPONENT DAMAGE OR PER-

SONAL INJURY.

Fasteners and torque specifications references in

this Service Manual are identified in metric and SAE

format.

During any maintenance or repair procedures, it is

important to salvage all fasteners (nuts, bolts, etc.)

for reassembly. If the fastener is not salvageable, a

fastener of equivalent specification must be used.

DESCRIPTION - THREADED HOLE REPAIR

Most stripped threaded holes can be repaired using

a Helicoilt. Follow the vehicle or Helicoiltrecommen-

dations for application and repair procedures.

METRIC SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION

The metric system is based on quantities of one,

ten, one hundred, one thousand and one million.

The following chart will assist in converting metric

units to equivalent English and SAE units, or vise

versa.
