When shopping for a car, this is the most important document on the car. By law the Monroney Label is affixed on a new car by the manufacturer and can only be removed at the time of sale. Strict, heavy fines are imposed if this label is removed incorrectly. By law, this label lists make, year, model and color and the important vehicle identification numbers. This area lists the standard features included. Technical covers the engine and drive systems. The interior and exterior features are straight forward. The safety systems, like air bags, brakes and body design features are listed here. This area gives the MSRP for the vehicle and the shipping charges. Now this figure is not to be mistaken for the transaction price. The fuel economy guide thoroughly covers the EPA miles per gallon information. Parts content information gives where the parts came from and where the car was built. Government crash test ratings are thorough and easy to understand. There is an area where the shipping and final destination information appears. A smog emmisions chart will often appear on Monroney Labels. The emissions information and the fuel economy guide are important for saving money on energy.
