Where is the VIN on the Mercedes-Benz Vito?
1 Answers
The VIN is located at the lower right corner of the front windshield. The VIN is essentially like a car's ID number—each vehicle has a unique chassis number, which matches the VIN on the vehicle's registration document. A combination of letters and numbers forms the VIN. Here is some related information: 1. Identifying the region and country of origin: The first part identifies the region and country of origin. If a car's parts are assembled in different countries or regions, it is referred to as the assembly country or region. Larger countries or regions may be subdivided into multiple areas. 2. Identifying the vehicle manufacturer: The second part identifies the vehicle manufacturer. In the U.S., the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is typically responsible for issuing manufacturer codes. 3. Determining the manufacturer's internal division: The third part traditionally indicates the vehicle type or the manufacturer's internal division. For example, Ford in the U.S. uses codes like 1F, and depending on the model, the first three characters might be 1FA, 1FB, etc. 4. Horsepower and weight: The fourth part may represent a code for horsepower and vehicle weight. 5. Chassis type: The fifth part usually identifies the chassis type, such as a trailer, sedan, station wagon, or pickup truck. 6. Vehicle model: The sixth position can be used by the manufacturer to indicate the specific model or a special code, such as Mustang, Corvette, or Dodge.
