• If the replacement label has been lost or damaged, a new vehicle emission information label
must be ordered. On the iN refer to Parts > Parts Library > Parts System Guide > Ordering >
Special Ordering Programs and Procedures > Controlled Parts and Emission Labels. A part
number is not required as the system will assign the correct part number based on the VIN.
• If you need to order a label, have the service advisor inform the customer that they will need
to return to the dealer once the replacement label arrives.
1. Clean the existing label with alcohol or mild detergent and a clean shop towel.
2. Peel off the backing from the new label and apply it over the existing label.
NOTES
• Make sure the surface is clean and dry before applying the new label.
• To avoid tearing the label, do not reposition it once you begin to apply it.
• Apply the label slowly, from one end to the other.
• To avoid wrinkles in the label, press it down firmly once it is applied.
