Identification Numbers
Your vehicle has several identifying numbers located in various places.
The vehicle identification number (VIN) is the 17-digit number your dealer uses to register your vehicle for warranty purposes. It is also necessary for licensing and insuring your vehicle. The easiest place to find the VIN is on a plate fastened to the top of the dashboard. You can see it by looking through the windshield on the driver’s side. It is also on the certification label attached to the driver’s doorjamb, and is stamped on the engine compartment bulkhead. The VIN is also provided in bar code on the certification label.
To access the VIN in the engine compartment, pull down the lid on the back of the engine compartment.
Make sure to close the lid before closing the hood.
The engine number is stamped into the front of the engine block.
You can see the engine number through the window next to the ‘‘H’’ logo.
The transmission number is on a label on top of the transmission.
