GENERAL INFORMATION VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is located on the upper left corner of the instrument panel, near the left A-Pillar. The VIN consists of 17 characters in a combination of letters and numbers that provide specific information about the vehicle (Fig. 1). Refer to VIN Code Decoding Chart. 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 Identification Number. 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.

INTERNATIONAL VEHICLE CONTROL AND DISPLAY SYMBOLS INTERNATIONAL VEHICLE CONTROL AND DISPLAY SYMBOLS The graphic symbols illustrated in the following 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.
FASTENER IDENTIFICATION
Fig. 4 Thread Notation—SAE and Metric
FASTENER IDENTIFICATION THREAD IDENTIFICATION SAE and metric bolt/nut threads are not the same. The difference is described in the Thread Notation chart (Fig. 4). GRADE/CLASS IDENTIFICATION 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 12.9. 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)
METRIC SYSTEM WARNING: USE OF AN INCORRECT FASTENER MAY RESULT IN COMPONENT DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. Figure art, specifications and torque references in this Service Manual are identified in metric and SAE format. During any maintenance or repair procedures, it is important to salvage metric fasteners (nuts, bolts, etc.) for reassembly. If the fastener is not salvageable, a fastener of equivalent specification should be used. The metric system is based on quantities of one, ten, one hundred, one thousand and one million (Fig. 5).
Fig. 5 Metric Prefixes The following chart will assist in converting metric units to equivalent English and SAE units, or vise versa. Refer to the Conversion Chart to convert torque values listed in metric Newton meters (N·m). Also, use the chart to convert between millimeters (mm) and inches (in.).
