BODY CODE EMBOSS

DESCRIPTION
The vehicle is equipped with a Body Code Emboss and it is located on the rear shelf. The emboss is located in the trunk area on the forward top edge of the rear shelf panel.

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. 1) and (Fig. 2).

FASTENER USAGE
DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION - FASTENER USAGE
WARNING: USE OF AN INCORRECT FASTENER MAY RESULT IN COMPONENT DAMAGE OR PERSONAL 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.

INTERNATIONAL SYMBOLS
DESCRIPTION
The graphic symbols illustrated in the following International Control and Display Symbols Chart (Fig. 3) are used to identify various instrument controls. The symbols correspond to the controls and displays that are located on the instrument panel.

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.

DESCRIPTION - THREADED HOLE REPAIR

Most stripped threaded holes can be repaired using a Helicoil . Follow the vehicle or Helicoil recommendations for application and repair procedures.

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

DESCRIPTION
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be viewed through the windshield at the upper left corner of the instrument panel next to the A-pillar (Fig. 6) or (Fig. 7). The VIN consists of 17 characters in a combination of letters and numbers that provide specific information about the vehicle. Refer to the VIN Decoding Information Table to interpret VIN code.

VIN CHECK DIGIT

To protect the consumer from theft and possible fraud the manufacturer is required to include a check digit at the ninth position of the VIN. The check digit is used by the manufacturer and government agencies to verify the authenticity of the vehicle and official documentation. The formula to use the check digit is not released to the general public.
