Theft Protection Label [Vehicles for USA]

THEFT PROTECTION LABEL [VEHICLES FOR USA]

CAUTION:
When replacing a part that has the theft protection plate, label or stamp on it, be sure that the part has either A or B shown in the figure. It is illegal if both A and B are attached, or neither A nor B is attached.





In order to protect against theft, a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is attached as a plate or label to the following major parts of the engine and transaxle, as well as main outer panels:
Engine cylinder block, Transaxle housing, Front end upper bar, Front bumper, Front fender panel inside, Front door, Rear door, Front floor crossmember and Tailgate in side panel.
In addition, a theft-protection label is attached to replacement parts for the body outer panel main components, and the same data is stamped into replacement parts for the engine and the transaxle.

CAUTION:
Cautions regarding panel repairs:

- When repainting original parts, do so after first masking the theft-protection label. After painting, be sure to peel off the masking tape.
- 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.
- The theft-protection label should not be removed from original parts or replacement parts.
