223Technical data

Identifi cation markings

A. Vehicle identification number (VIN) under the bonnet. This number is engraved on the bodywork near the 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 left hand centre pillar.
Wheels which are fitted with 205/45 R17 tyres cannot be fitted with snow chains. For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer.
If the tyre pressures are too low, this increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once a month.
C. Manufacturer's label. The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label
affixed to the left hand centre pillar.
It bears the following information: - the tyre pressures, for unladen and laden conditions, - the wheel rim and tyre sizes, - the brands of tyre recommended by the manufacturer, - the spare tyre inflation pressure, - the paint colour code.

6Safety
Trajectory control systems
Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-skid regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. The electronic stability programme acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is star ted. They come into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (star ting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.  Press the "ESP OFF" button, located to the side of the steering wheel.
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the indicator lamp in the button comes on, this indicates that the ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.

7Safety
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on.  Press the "ESP OFF" button again to reactivate them manually.
Operating fault The ESP/ASR systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed. The correct functioning of these systems is assured providing that the manufacturer's recommendations are obser ved regarding: - wheels (tyres and rims), - braking components, - electronic components, - assembly and repair procedures. After an impact, have these systems checked by a CITROËN dealer.
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen, this indicates a fault with these systems.
Have the systems checked by a CITROËN dealer.
