VIN — How to Use It
World Manufacturer Identifiers (WMI) (Positions 1-3)
Here is your 2002 guide to interpreting universal Vehicle Identification Numbers. All vehicle body codes shown apply to 2002 models only. For previous model year body type codes, see reference material at your dealership or previous VIN Guides published by the Vehicle Remarketing Department. Universal Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) have 17 “positions”. There is a number or a letter in each position (see example below). In this guide, you will find decoding for positions 5-7 (line, series and body type), position 8 (engine type), and position 11 (assembly plant).
