Accessory Codes
- If there are accessory codes on the data plate, these codes primarily identified equipment or options installed. Some codes only identify option and not specific equipment.
- The accessory codes are made up of a number (except 1) and followed by one or more letters. The number in front of the code identifies which group the accessory belongs to.
- 5 groups make up the codes:
- (1st Group) T = power bucket seat, etc.
- (2nd Group) S = rear manual antenna, etc.
- (3rd Group) N = roof reading lamps, etc.
- (4th Group) F = remote mirror, etc.
