The Federal law requires that General Motors label certain body parts on this vehicle with the VIN. The purpose of the law is to reduce the number of motor vehicle thefts by helping in the tracing and recovery of parts from stolen vehicles. Labels are permanently affixed to an interior surface of the part. The label on the replacement part contains the letter R, the manufacturer's logo, and the DOT symbol. The anti-theft label must be covered before any painting, rustproofing procedures, and uncovered after the procedures. Failure to follow the precautionary steps may result in liability for violation of the Federal Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard and possible suspicion to the owner that the part was stolen. |

FASTENERS
Metric Fasteners
This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength.
A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive® or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross- recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive® recess head screws.
GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and
25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4 - 20 and 1/4 - 28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.

6 |
Metric Bolts, Strength Class Increases as Numbers Increase |
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face.
The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following:
Lower strength
No numbered head marking system
Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the
common sizes and pitches, except for special applications:
M6.0 X 1
M8 X 1.25
M10 X 1.5
M12 X 1.75
M14 X 2.00
M16 X 2.00
Prevailing Torque Fasteners
Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.
All Metal Prevailing Torque Fasteners
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener.
Nylon Interface Prevailing Torque Fasteners
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads.
Adhesive Coated Fasteners
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.

Perform the vehicle lifting or jacking procedure on a clean, hard, dry, level surface.
Perform the vehicle lifting or jacking procedure only at the identified lift points. DO NOT allow the lifting equipment or jacking equipment to contact any other vehicle components.
Failure to perform the previous steps could result in damage to the lifting equipment or the jacking equipment, the vehicle, and/or the vehicle contents.
Vehicle Lifting - Frame Contact Lift
WARNING: To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death:
When major components are removed from the vehicle and the vehicle is supported by a hoist, support the vehicle with jack stands at the opposite end from which the components are being removed and strap the vehicle to the hoist.
When performing work in the engine compartment or under the vehicle, ensure that the hood is fully open, or opened to its secondary latch. When the hood is opened to the secondary latch, the vehicle will disable the remote start features from the key fob and OnStar mobile app. Failure to open the hood, or open the hood to the secondary latch while doing a repair in the engine compartment or under the vehicle can result in inadvertent vehicle starting which could result in personal injury or damage to a vehicle.
NOTE: The hoist pads must not contact the rocker panel moldings or the underbody air deflectors. Additional clearance may be required for the lifting points.

When lifting the vehicle with a frame-contact lift, place the front lift pads in the recessed area of the rocker flange (1), as shown
Rear Lift Pads
When lifting the vehicle with a frame-contact lift, place the rear lift pads front lift pads in the recessed area of the rocker flange (2), as shown.

WARNING: Do not use a service jack in locations other than those specified to lift this vehicle. Lifting the vehicle with a jack in those other locations could cause the vehicle to slip off the jack and roll; this could cause injury or death.
WARNING: To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death, always use the jackstands to support the vehicle when lifting the vehicle with a jack.
CAUTION: Lifting the vehicle improperly can damage the vehicle and result in costly repairs not covered by the warranty.
CAUTION: When you are jacking the vehicle at the front locations, be certain that the jack or the jack lift pad does not contact the front fascia, front fascia air dam, rocker molding, or the front fenders. If such contact occurs, vehicle damage may result. When jacking at selected front locations additional clearance may be required for the jacking points.
NOTE: It may be necessary to put ramps under the Volt's front tires in order to provide necessary clearance for certain service jacks.
Front Service Jack
When lifting the Front of the vehicle with a service jack, only lift the vehicle on the pad location (1), as shown
Rear Service Jack
When lifting the Rear of the vehicle with a service jack, only lift the vehicle on the pad location (2), as shown
