- Stamped on a plate located at the top of the
dashboard. Can be seen by looking through the
windshield on the driver's side of the vehicle.

- Printed on the Vehicle Certification label, located on
the door pillar. Can be seen when the driver's door is
open.

- The VIN is stamped on the chassis and can be seen
by removing the sill panel on the front passenger
door by gently prying it upward using a flat-bladed
tool.
