Vehicle Identification Number

1. (Refer to «DESCRIPTION - VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER»(/chrysler/pt-cruiser/i-2000-2010/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-data__description-vehicle-identification-number) ) 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 indicate (CTD)

When a second plate is required, the first four spaces of each line will not be used due to overlap of the plates.

The SAE bolt strength grades range from grade 2 to grade 8. The higher the grade number, the greater the bolt strength. Identification is determined by the line marks on the top of each bolt head. The actual bolt strength grade corresponds to the number of line marks plus 2. The most commonly used metric bolt strength classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The metric strength class identification number is imprinted on the head of the bolt. The higher the class number, the greater the bolt strength. Some metric nuts are imprinted with a single-digit strength class on the nut face. Refer to the Fastener Identification and Fastener Strength Charts.

FASTENER USAGE

Fasteners and torque specifications references in this service information are identified in metric and SAE format.

During any maintenance or repair procedures, it is important to salvage all fasteners (nuts, bolts, etc.) for reassembly. If the fastener is not salvageable, a fastener of equivalent specification must be used.

THREADED HOLE REPAIR

Most stripped threaded holes can be repaired using a Helicoil®. Follow the vehicle or Helicoil® recommendations for application and repair procedures.

Scheme 4

The graphic symbols illustrated in the following International Control and Display Symbols Chart are used to identify various instrument controls. The symbols correspond to the controls and displays that are located on the instrument panel.

Scheme 5

The metric system is based on quantities of one, ten, one hundred, one thousand and one million.

The following chart will assist in converting metric units to equivalent English and SAE units, or vise versa.

CONVERSION FORMULAS AND EQUIVALENT VALUES

COMMON METRIC EQUIVALENTS

(Scheme 5)to convert torque values listed in metric Newton- meters (N.m). Also, use the chart to convert between millimeters (mm) and inches (in.).

SPECIFIED TORQUE FOR STANDARD BOLTS

Individual Torque Charts appear within many of the service information articles. Refer to SPECIFIED TORQUE FOR STANDARD BOLTS for torque references not listed in the individual torque charts.

DESCRIPTION - VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is located on the upper left corner of the instrument panel, near the left A-Pillar. The VIN consists of 17 characters in a combination of letters and numbers that provide specific information about the vehicle. (Scheme 6) Refer to VIN CODE DECODING table.

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 Identification Number. The check digit is used by the manufacturer and government agencies to verify the authenticity of the vehicle and official documentation. The formula to use the check digit is not released to the general public.

Scheme 6

VIN CODE DECODING

A vehicle certification label is attached to the rear shut face of the driver's door. (Scheme 7) This label indicates date of manufacture (month and year), Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) front, Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) rear and the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The Month, Day and Hour of manufacture is also included.

All communications or inquiries regarding the vehicle should include the Month-Day-Hour and Vehicle Identification Number.

Scheme 7

An E-mark Label is located on the rear shut face of the driver's door. The label contains the following information: (Scheme 8)

1. Date of Manufacture
2. Month-Day-Hour (MDH)
3. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
4. Country Codes
5. Regulation Number
6. Regulation Amendment Number
7. Approval Number

Scheme 8

All models have a Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) Label. Chrysler permanently attaches the label in the engine compartment. It cannot be removed without defacing information and destroying the label.

The label contains the vehicle's emission specifications and vacuum hose routings. All hoses must be connected and routed according to the label.

The Manufacturer Plate is located in the engine compartment on the passenger side rear corner of the hood. The plate contains five lines of information: (Scheme 9)

1. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
2. Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM)
3. Gross Train Mass (GTM)
4. Gross Front Axle Rating (GFAR)
5. Gross Rear Axle Rating (GRAR)
