Technical data
Identification markings
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
A. Vehicle identification number (VIN) under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork near
the suspension damper mounting.
B. Vehicle identification number on the dashboard.
This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen.
D. Tyre/paint label.
This label is affixed to the driver's front pillar.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
The original tyres fitted to the vehicle
may have a load index or speed rating
higher than those given on the label;
this has no effect on the inflation
pressures.
C. Manufacturer's label.
The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label
affixed to the driver's centre pillar.
It bears the following information:
- the tyre pressures, for unladen and laden
conditions,
- the tyre sizes (including the load index and
speed rating),
- the spare tyre inflation pressure,
- the paint colour code.
Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least monthly.
The pressures given on the label are valid for
cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10 minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 30 mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm; in this case 0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm
tyre.
