Explanation:
bei einem Verbau im Fahrzeug = when fitted to [installed in] the vehicle OR in its (i.e. the part's) final position in the vehicle

In the pre-production phase, a yellow, circular sticker [adhesive label] must be attached to each part in a position that is concealed [not visible] when the part is fitted to the vehicle.
