the Certification/Tire and Service Parts labels and
the certificates of title and registration.
Engine Identification
The eighth character in the VIN is the engine code.

specifications, and replacement parts. See "Engine
Specifications" under Capacities and Specifications
on page 5-129 for your vehicle's engine code.

Electrical System

Add-On Electrical Equipment

Notice: Do not add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless you check with your dealer/retailer
first. Some electrical equipment can damage your
vehicle and the damage would not be covered by
your warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from working as they should.
Add-on equipment can drain your vehicle's battery, even
if your vehicle is not operating.
Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before attempting
to add anything electrical to your vehicle, see Servicing
Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on page 1-83.
