THEFT PROTECTION<R.H.D.>
In order to protect against theft, a Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN) is attached as a plate or label to the following major
parts of the main outer panels:
Fender, Doors, Back door, Quarter panel, Hood, Bumpers
In addition, a theft-protection label is attached to replacement
parts for the body outer panel main components.
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.
3. The theft-protection label should not be removed from
original parts or replacement parts.
