B. Vehicle identification number on the bottom edge of the windscreen aper ture. This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible through the windscreen.
C. Manufacturer's label. The self-destroying label on the left-hand or right-hand centre pillar carries the following information. - the name of the manufacturer, - the European type approval number, - the vehicle identification number (VIN), - the gross vehicle weight, - the gross train weight, - the maximum front axle weight, - the maximum rear axle weight.
- the tyre pressures, for unladen and laden conditions, - the tyre sizes (including the load index and speed rating of the tyre), - the spare tyre inflation pressure, - the paint colour code.
The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at least once a month.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel consumption.
A. Vehicle identification number (VIN) under the bonnet. This number is engraved on the bodywork near the passenger compartment filter.
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
D. Tyre/paint label. This label on the left centre pillar, driver's side, carries the following information:

System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four tyres, once the vehicle is moving. It compares the information given by the four wheel speed sensors with reference values, which must be reinitialised ever y time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed . The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver. This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) every month as well as before a long journey. Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs road holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear, particularly under arduous condition (high loading, high speed, long journey).
The inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label. See the "Identification markings" section. Tyre pressures should be checked when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds). Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
