VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
NUMBER

DESCRIPTION

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be

viewed through the windshield at the upper left cor-
ner of the instrument panel, near the left windshield
pillar (Fig. 2). The VIN consists of 17 characters in a
combination of letters and numbers that provide spe-
cific information about the vehicle. Refer to VIN
Code Breakdown Chart for decoding information.

To protect the consumer from theft and possible

fraud the manufacturer is required to include a
Check Digit at the ninth position of the vehicle iden-
tification number. The check digit is used by the
manufacturer and government agencies to verify the
authenticity of the vehicle and official documenta-
tion. The formula to use the check digit is not
released to the general public.
