There are seven lines of information on the body code plate. Lines 4, 5, 6, and 7 are not used to define service information. Information reads from left to right, starting with line 3 in the center of the plate to line 1 at the bottom of the plate.

IF TWO BODY CODE PLATES ARE REQUIRED The last code shown on either plate will be fol- lowed by END. When two plates are required, the last code space on the first plate will indicate (CTD) When a second plate is required, the first four spaces of each line will not be used due to overlap of the plates. 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 (Fig. 2) and (Fig. 3). 2 INTRODUCTION JR BODY CODE PLATE (Continued)

FASTENER USAGE DESCRIPTION WARNING: USE OF AN INCORRECT FASTENER MAY RESULT IN COMPONENT DAMAGE OR PER- SONAL INJURY. Figure art, specifications and torque 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 reassembly. If the fastener is not salvageable, a fastener of equivalent specification must be used. THREADED HOLE REPAIR DESCRIPTION Most stripped threaded holes can be repaired using a Helicoilt. Follow the vehicle or Helicoilt recommen- dations for application and repair procedures. INTERNATIONAL VEHICLE CONTROL AND DISPLAY SYMBOLS DESCRIPTION - INTERNATIONAL SYMBOLS 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. INTERNATIONAL SYMBOLS 1 High Beam 13 Rear Window Washer 2 Fog Lamps 14 Fuel 3 Headlamp, Parking Lamps, Panel Lamps 15 Engine Coolant Temperature 4 Turn Warning 16 Battery Charging Condition 5 Hazard Warning 17 Engine Oil 6 Windshield Washer 18 Seat Belt 7 Windshield Wiper 19 Brake Failure 8 Windshield Wiper and Washer 20 Parking Brake 9 Windscreen Demisting and Defrosting 21 Front Hood 10 Ventilating Fan 22 Rear hood (Decklid) 11 Rear Window Defogger 23 Horn 12 Rear Window Wiper 24 Lighter JR INTRODUCTION 5

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.
