FASTENER USAGE
| WARNING | Use of an incorrect fastener may result in component damage. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or death. |
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.
THREAD HOLE REPAIR
Most stripped threaded holes can be repaired using a Helicoil®. Follow the vehicle or Helicoil® recommendations for application and repair procedures.

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.
| MULTIPLY | BY | TO GET | MULTIPLY | BY | TO GET |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In-lbs | X 0.11298 | = Newton Meters (N.m) | N.m | X 8.851 | = in-lbs |
| Ft-lbs | X 1.3558 | = Newton Meters (N.m) | N.m | X 0.7376 | = ft-lbs |
| Inches Hg (60° F) | X 3.377 | = Kilopascals (kPa) | KPa | X 0.2961 | = Inches Hg |
| Psi | X 6.895 | = Kilopascals (kPa) | KPa | X 0.145 | = psi |
| Inches | X 25.4 | = Millimeters (mm) | Mm | X 0.03937 | = Inches |
| Feet | X 0.3048 | = Meters (M) | M | X 3.281 | = Feet |
| Yards | X 0.9144 | = Meters (M) | M | X 1.0936 | = Yards |
| Mph | X 1.6093 | = Kilometers/Hr. (Km/h) | Km/h | X 0.6214 | = mph |
| Feet/Sec | X 0.3048 | = Meters/Sec (M/S) | M/S | X 3.281 | = Feet/Sec |
| Mph | X 0.4470 | = Meters/Sec (M/S) | M/S | X 2.237 | = mph |

COMMON METRIC EQUIVALENTS
Refer to the COMMON METRIC EQUIVALENTS to convert torque values listed in metric Newton Meters (N.m). Also, use the chart to convert between millimeters (mm) and inches (in.).
LABEL - VECI
All models have a Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) Label. DaimlerChrysler 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 model year and what regulations the vehicle conforms to also if the vehicle is OBD II compliant.
VEHICLE CERTIFICATION LABEL
A vehicle certification label is attached to the rear shut face of the driver's door. (Scheme 6) 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.
