Default How to Find Manufacturing Month And Year?

VIN # JM3KE2BE5E0300808

I just got a new 2014 Mazda CX 5 and been google searching to find out what exact month and year my car was made.

Reading the review from iihs safety rating got me wondering which one I have. If you click on "Small overlap front Models build after October 2013" and "Models build before November 2013." There is quite a difference in terms of safety rating. Anyone know which one I have?

Thanks

Found this: The build date is located on the sticker which is in the driver door jamb. I have a 2013 with a build date of 9/2012 (month/yr). It is considered a late production 2013. If I recall correctly, the final month of production for the North American 2013's.

Check your driver's door jamb---the post just behind your driver seat as you open the door.

Thanks for tue reply. I took a picture of it. Does this make sense? Is this saying that my 2014 was made in Dec of 2012? https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-x7...p=docslist_api

Wow I did not think they made cars 2 years ahead of time... So based on the iihs I got the poor rated version of the 2014 Mazda CX5? If I am reading everything right.
