In accordance with US Federal law, the GM placard must be located on the center of the instrument panel, next to the vehicle identification number (VIN). The purpose of this law is to reduce the incidence of car theft, help in the search for stolen cars and the restoration of damaged parts of the car as a result of theft.
The plates are always affixed inside the vehicle. If the part on which this plate was located was replaced, then the symbol must be embossed on the plate "R", manufacturer's logo and symbol "DOT".
The plate must not be painted over, must be protected from corrosion and must not be subjected to mechanical stress. Failure to comply with these requirements is a violation of federal law and may indicate that you are not the legal owner of this vehicle and it was stolen.
