PRACTICAL INFORMATION
SNOW CHAINS
In wintry conditions, snow chains im-
prove traction as well as the behaviour
of the vehicle when braking. The snow chains must be fi tted
only to the front wheels. They
must never be fi tted to "space-
saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in
force in your country on the use
of snow chains and the maximum
running speed authorised. Advice on installation
If you have to fi t the chains during
a journey, stop the vehicle on a fl at
surface on the side of the road.
Apply the parking brake and posi- tion any wheel chocks to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
Fit the chains following the instruc- tions provided by the manufacturer.
Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding
30 mph (50 km/h).
Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving on roads that have
been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres
and the road surface. It is recom-
mended that before you leave,
you practise fi tting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
If your vehicle is fi tted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fi xings is in contact
with the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fi t-
ted to the type of wheel fi tted to your
vehicle:
For more information on snow chains,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.

TECHNICAL DATA
IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS
Various visible markings for the identifi -
cation of your vehicle. If the infl ation pressures are too
low, this increases fuel consump-
tion. The infl ation pressures must be
checked when the tyres are cold,
at least once a month.
A. Vehicle identifi cation number (VIN)
under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork near the damper support.
For access to it, raise the plastic cover. B. VIN on the windscreen lower
cross member.
This number is indicated on a self- adhesive label which is visible
through the windscreen.
C. Manufacturer's label.
This number is indicated on a self- destroying label affi xed to the door
aperture, below the door striker, on
the right-hand side. D. Tyre/paint label.
This label is affi xed to the door aper-
ture, on the driver's side.
It bears the following information:
- the tyre infl ation pressures, laden and unladen,
- the tyre sizes,
- the infl ation pressure of the spare wheel,
- the paint colour code.
