THEFT PROTECTION

In order to protect against theft, a Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN) is stamped in, or attached as a label to, the following
major parts of the engine and transaxle, as well as main
outer panels:
Engine cylinder block, Transaxle housing, Fender, Door, Quar-
ter panel, Hood, Liftgate, Bumpers
In addition, a theft-protection label is attached to replacement
parts for the body outer panel main components, and the
same data are stamped into replacement parts for the engine
and the transaxle.
Cautions regarding panel repairs:
1. When repainting original parts, do so after first mask-
ing the theft-protection label, and, after painting, be
sure to peel off the masking tape.
2. The theft-protection label for replacement parts is cov-
ered by masking tape, so such parts can be painted
as is. The masking tape should be removed after paint-
ing is finished.
