Theft Prevention - Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.3 1991 Owner's Manual

Theft Prevention

This vehicle complies with the U.S.
Federal Motor Vehicle Theft Preven­
tion Standard (49 CFR Part 541). En­
gine, transmission and certain body
parts (see illustration) are labeled at
the factory, the labels show the VIN-
number of this vehicle.
Spare parts are similarly labeled at the
factory in a different location. The
labels show the letter R (for replace­
ment) instead of the VIN-number.
Note:
Do not remove these labels. These
labels are intended for parts identi­
fication in case of theft. When
replacing parts subject to labeling,
please make sure that the parts you
receive are labeled properly. This is
especially important when work is per­
formed outside of the United States.
