VEHICLE SAFETY CERTIFICATION LABEL
DESCRIPTION
A vehicle safety certification label is attached to every
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicle. The label certi-
fies that the vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. The label is located
on the driver door shut-face.
All communications or inquiries regarding the vehicle
should include the Date of Manufacture, and the Vehi-
cle Identification Number.
The Vehicle Safety Certification label contains the fol-
lowing:
•Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
•Date of Manufacture (month and year)
•Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
•Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) Front
•Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) Rear
•Month Day Hour (MDH)
VECI LABEL
DESCRIPTION
All models are equipped with a Vehicle Emission Con-
trol Information (VECI) Label. DaimlerChrysler Corpo-
ration permanently attaches the label in the engine
compartment. It cannot be removed without defacing
the information and destroying the label. The label
contains the vehicle’s emission specifications and vac-
uum hose routings. All hoses must be connected and
routed according to the label.
The VECI label contains the following:
•Engine family and displacement
•Evaporative family
•Emission control system schematic
•Certification application
•Spark plug type and gap

INTERNATIONAL SYMBOLS
DESCRIPTION
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.
FASTENER IDENTIFICATION
DESCRIPTION
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
DESCRIPTION
FASTENER USAGE
WARNING: USE OF AN INCORRECT FASTENER MAY RESULT IN COMPONENT DAMAGE OR PERSONAL
INJURY.
Fasteners and torque specifications references in this Service Manual are identified in metric and SAE format.
During any maintenance or repair procedures, it is important to salvage all fasteners (nuts, bolts, etc.) for reassem-
bly. 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 HelicoilT. Follow the vehicle or HelicoilTrecommendations for
application and repair procedures.
METRIC SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
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
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 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
Kilometers/Hr. (Km/h) x 0.27778 = Meters/Sec (M/S) M/S x 3.600 Kilometers/Hr.
