INFORMATION
The vehicle identification number (VIN) is unique to each individual vehicle and is the number (sometimes referred to as chassis number) used upon the vehicle registration document to iden- tify the vehicle. The VIN will be found stamped upon a plate attached to the engine bulkhead. The engine number is stamped on the engineblock as shown in the drawing.
I030A01GK-EAT TYRE PRESSURES
In modern high-speed motoring, correct tyre pressures are vitally important. Incorrect tyre pressures can affect vehicle safety by causing reduced adhesion, steering response and tyre failure through overheating. The tyre pressure must only be checked when the tyres are cold. The correct tyre pressures are indicated on the label affixed to the drivers door pillar and below. Tyre pressures should be increased by 3 psi when the vehicle is driven fully laden or under conditions of sustained high speed motoring. SI030A2-E SNOW TYRES If it is desired to fit snow tyres to the vehicle, it must be ascertained that the original size and load carrying capacity are met by the replace- ment tyres. When using snow tyres, the vehicle should not be driven at speeds in excess of 60 MPH.

To minimize tyre and chain wear, do not continue to use tyre chains when they are no longer needed. WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow
or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use a tyre chains less than 10mm to "16,
"17 tyre.
o Avoid sudden stop and turn.
o Tighten firmly not to hear contact sound, if it still sounds, remove the chains for dam-age protection. I060A01GK-EAT TYRE ROTATION The tyre wear characteristics will vary between each tyre dependant upon the conditions of use. It is normal for the front tyres to wear more rapidly than those fitted to the rear of the vehicle and therefore tyre rotation will provide a means of helping to ensure an even wear rate across the tyre set. For vehicles fitted with radial ply tyres, rotation should be confined to front to rear tyre alternation. It is not recommended that radial ply tyres be rotated from side to side. NOTE: Aluminium wheels which are not supplied as Original Equipment should not be mixed on the same vehicle with the original steel wheels.
WARNING: When rotating the 215/45 R17 tyres, ensure to follow the"ROTATION" direction marked on the sidewall of tyres. When rotating the tyres of the left and right, separate the wheel from the tyre and then re- assemble them. However, it is acceptable that the steel spare wheel be used in conjunc- tion with Original Equipment aluminium wheels since the offset of both wheels is compatible. Radial and cross ply tyres should not be mixed on the same vehicle.
I050A01GK-EAT TYRE CHAINS Tyre chains should be installed on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are the proper size and that they are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Refer to the following information.
