Factory-installed safety certificates, stickers and signs containing important information regarding vehicle operation can be found in the engine compartment and on certain vehicle components, such as inside the fuel filler flap, on the passenger sun visor, in the driver door jamb or on the luggage compartment floor.

  • Do not remove, alter or render unusable or illegible any safety certificates, stickers and labels.
  • If vehicle components bearing safety certificates, stickers, or labels are replaced, make certain that the firm doing the work attaches new conforming certificates, stickers, or labels to the same part of the new components.
