The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is located
on a tab on the driver's side dashboard and on the
Vehicle Certification Label. The Electric Vehicle

identification number on the VIN tag. This is the
eighth digit on the tag, which indicates the battery
pack that is installed in the Electric Vehicle. A
number 7 indicates a Lead Acid Battery Pack (PbA)
and a number 1 indicates a Nickel Metal Hydride
Battery Pack (NiMH). For other VIN information,
refer to the Ranger Workshop Manual.
Warnings
The Electric Ranger contains many unique electrical
components. The components that operate using
high voltage are labeled to warn of the potential
danger for electric shock. In addition to the high
voltage, some of the components also generate high
levels of heat. These are labeled to protect people
from possible burns.

and an icon to inform technicians that the proper
service information should be used prior to
servicing the vehicle.
