IDENTIFICATION DATA

Vehicle Identification Number

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is on
the left front corner of the instrument panel. The
VIN is visible from outside of the vehicle through
the windshield. This number also appears on the
Automobile Information Disclosure Label affixed
to a window on your vehicle, the vehicle regis-
tration, and the title.
VIN Location
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is also
located on the right front strut tower inside the
engine compartment.
VIN Location
NOTE:
It is illegal to remove or alter the VIN.

BRAKE SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic
brake systems. If either of the two hydraulic
systems loses normal capability, the remaining
system will still function. There will be some loss
of overall braking effectiveness. This may be
evident by increased pedal travel during appli-
cation, greater pedal force required to slow or
stop, and potential activation of the Brake Warn-
ing Light.
In the event power assist is lost for any reason
(for example, repeated brake applications with
the engine OFF), the brakes will still function.
The effort required to brake the vehicle will be
much greater than that required with the power
system operating.
NOTE:
Your vehicle is equipped with a high perfor-
mance braking system. The brake pads are a
semi-metallic compound, which offer superior
fade resistance for consistent operation. A com-
promise to using this type of brake pad is that
the brakes may produce more brake dust and
may squeal slightly under certain weather and
operating conditions (i.e., during light brake ap-
plications). These are considered normal condi-
tions.
WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to
ensure that the wheel is properly mounted to the
vehicle. Any time a wheel has been removed
and reinstalled on the vehicle, the lug nuts/bolts
should be torqued using a properly calibrated
torque wrench using a high quality six sided
(hex) deep wall socket.
