Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN)
Refer to Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) para-
graph for proper breakdown of VIN code.
IF TWO BODY CODE PLATES ARE REQUIRED
The last code shown on either plate will be followed
by END. When two plates are required, the last code
space on the first plate will show CTD (for continued).
When a second plate is required, the first four spaces
of each line will not be used due to overlap of the plates.
TORQUE REFERENCES
Individual Torque Charts appear at the end of many
Groups. Refer to the Standard Torque Specifications
and Bolt Identification Chart in this Group for torques
not listed in the individual torque charts (Fig. 4).
Torque specifications on the Bolt Torque chart are
based on the use of clean and dry threads. Reduce the
torque by 10% when the threads are lubricated with
engine oil and by 20% if new plated bolts are used.
Various sizes of Torx head fasteners are used to
secure numerous components to assemblies. Due
to ever changing usage of fasteners, Torx head
fasteners may not be identified in art or text.

METRIC THREAD AND GRADE IDENTIFICATION
Metric and SAE thread notations differ slightly. The
difference is illustrated in Figure 5.
Common metric fastener strength classes are 9.8 and
12.9 with the class identification embossed on the head
of each bolt (Fig. 6). Some metric nuts will be marked
with a single digit strength number on the nut face.
SAE strength classes range from grade 2 to 8 with
line identification embossed on each bolt head. Mark-
ings corresponding to two lines less than the actual
grade (Fig. 7). For Example: Grade 7 bolt will have 5
embossed lines on the bolt head.
INTERNATIONAL SYMBOLS
Some International Symbols are used to identify
controls and displays in this vehicle. These symbols are
applicable to those controls which are displayed on the
instrument panel or in the immediate vicinity of the
driver (Fig. 8).

METRIC SYSTEM
Figure art, specifications, and tightening references
in this Service Manual are identified in the metric
system and in the SAE system.
During any maintenance or repair procedures, it is
important to salvage metric fasteners (nuts, bolts, etc.)
for reassembly. If the fastener is not salvageable, a
fastener of equivalent specification should be used.
WARNING: USE OF AN INCORRECT FASTENER MAY
RESULT IN COMPONENT DAMAGE OR PERSONAL
INJURY.
The metric system is based on quantities of one, ten,
one hundred, one thousand, and one million (Fig. 9).
The following Tables will assist you in conversion
procedures.
