Theft Protection Labels

In order to protect against theft, a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is stamped in, or attached as a label, to the following major parts of the engine and transaxle, as well as main outer panels:
Engine cylinder block. Transaxle housing. Fender. Door. Quarter panel, Hood, Trunk lid. Bumpers
In addition. a theft-protection label is attached to replacement parts for the body outer panel main components, and the same data are stamped into replacement parts for the engine and the transaxle.

Cautions Regarding Panel Repairs
1. When repainting original parts, do so after first masking the theft-protection label, and. after painting, be sure to peel off the masking tape.
2. 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.
3. The theft-protection label should not be removed from original parts or replacement parts.
