Characteristics of the
engines and towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact the dealer
network or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for
your vehicle are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also given on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact the dealer
network or a qualified workshop.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are
valid up to a maximum altitude of 1,000 metres.
The towed load value must be reduced by 10%
for each additional 1,000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball (which can be dismantled with or
without a tool).
GT W: Gross train weight. High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of
the vehicle to protect the engine. If the
exterior temperature is above 37°C, limit
the towed load.
Towing with a towing vehicle which is only
slightly laden may negatively affect its
handling.
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
When towing, never exceed the speed
of 62 mph (100 km/h) (obser ve the local
legislation in force).

Identification markings
Various visible markings for the identification of
your vehicle.
A. Vehicle identification number (V.I.N.),
under the bonnet.
The number is engraved on the body structure.
B. Vehicle identification number (V.I.N.), on
the dashboard.
The number is on a label, visible through the
windscreen. C. Manufacturer's label.
This tamperproof label is affixed to the driver's
door aperture.
It bears the following information:
-

t
he name of the manufacturer,
-

t
he European Whole Vehicle Type Approval
number,
-

t
he vehicle identification number (V.I.N.),
-

t
he gross vehicle weight (GV W)
-

t
he maximum authorised vehicle + trailer
weight (the Gross Train Weight or GTW),
-

t
he maximum weight on the front axle,
-

t
he maximum weight on the rear axle.
D. Tyres/paint code label.
This label is affixed to the driver's door
aperture.
It bears the following information on the tyres:
-

t
he tyre pressures, unladen and laden,
-

t
he tyre specification, made up of the
dimensions and type as well as the load and
speed indices,
-

t
he 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 around 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.
