Identification markings
The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.
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 passenger compartment filter.
B Vehicle identification number on the
dashboard.
The number is recorded on a label, visible
through the windscreen.
C Tyre/paint label.
This label is affixed to the centre pillar on
the driver’s side.
It bears the following information:
-

T

he tyre pressures, for unladen and
laden conditions.
-

T

he tyre sizes.
-

T

he spare tyre inflation pressure.
-

T

he paint colour code. Low tyre pressure introduces the risk of a
burst tyre.
D
Manufacturer's label.
The number is indicated on a self-
destroying label affixed to the lower part
of the right hand centre pillar. 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.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.

RDS
RDS, if displayed, makes it possible
to continue listening to the same radio
station using the alternative frequencies
function. However, in certain conditions,
coverage of an RDS station may not be
assured throughout the entire country
as radio stations do not cover 100% of
the territory. This explains the loss of

display the contextual menu.
Select "RDS" and confirm to save.
