A.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
under the bonnet.
B. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower cross member. C.
Manufacturer's label.
It bears the following information:
-
t
he name of the manufacturer,
-
t
he European Whole Vehicle Type Approval
number,
-
t
he vehicle identification number (VIN),
-
t
he gross vehicle weight (GV W)
-
t
he maximum authorised train weight
(GT W),
-
t
he maximum front axle weight,
-
t
he maximum rear axle weight.
D. Tyre/paint label.
This label on the centre pillar, driver's side,
contains the following information:
-
t
he tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,
-
t
he tyre sizes (including the load index and
speed rating),
-
t
he spare tyre inflation pressure,
-
t
he 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.
This number is engraved on the bodywork near
the passenger compartment filter.
The number is on an adhesive label, visible
through the windscreen. This tamperproof label is affixed to the centre
pillar on the driver's side.
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.
