cation of your vehicle.

A. Vehicle identifi cation number (VIN)

This number is engraved on the body-
work near the engine mounting.

the dashboard.

This number is indicated on a self-
adhesive label which is visible through
the windscreen.
D. Tyre/paint label.

This label is affi xed to the driver's front

The tyre pressures must be
checked when the tyres are cold,
at least once a month.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.

- the tyre pressures, for unladen and
laden conditions,

- the brands of tyre recommended by
the manufacturer,

phenomenon is a normal result of the way in which radio waves are transmitted and does not in any way indicate a fault with the audio system.
