The information listed on the plate (Fig. 1) is used for manufacturing and service purposes. 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. 1 Body Code Plate WJ INTRODUCTION 1

FASTENER USAGE DESCRIPTION - FASTENER USAGE 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. DESCRIPTION - THREADED HOLE REPAIR Most stripped threaded holes can be repaired using a Helicoilt. Follow the manufactures recommenda- tions 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.

METRIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION - METRIC SYSTEM 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.

VECI LABEL DESCRIPTION All vehicles are equipped with a combined VECI label(s). The label is located in the engine compartment on the vehicle hood (Fig. 2). Two labels are used for vehicles built for sale in the country of Can- ada. The VECI label(s) contain the following: • Engine family and displacement • Evaporative family • Emission control system schematic • Certification application • Spark plug and gap The label also contains an engine vacuum schematic. There are unique labels for vehicles built for sale in the state of California and the country of Canada. Canadian labels are written in both the English and French languages. These labels are per- manently attached and cannot be removed without defacing information and destroying label.
