Video tutorial

In this video we see where the legal chassis number (VIN = Vehicle Identification Number) is located on the 2015 Kia Rio: we open the passenger door (or the one on the right side). Right under the seat, in the carpet under the lever used to move the seat back and forth, we find a horizontal cut. In that cut we find the stamped number, composed of 17 alphanumeric characters.

This same number is also reported on the courtesy plate located at the base of the driver's side windshield, on the metal plate located on the driver's side door, and of course on the registration booklet, in section 2 letter E).
