THEFT PROTECTION LABEL

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, Hood, Bumpers, Front end crossmember, Front fender, Doors
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.
