This self-destructing label is affixed near to the
right-hand door.
It bears the following information:
- the name of the manufacturer,
- the European Whole Vehicle Type Approval
number, -
the spare tyre pressure.
It also indicates the paint colour code.
The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.
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.
