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, transaxle and main outer panels:
Engine cylinder block, Transaxle housing, Front fender, bumpers, Doors, Center pillar panel outer, Hood, Quarter panel outer, liftgate panel inner lower and liftgate panel inner upper. 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.
