This number is indicated on a self-
adhesive label which is visible through the
windscreen.
C. Manufacturer's label.
This self-destroying label on the middle
door pillar, right or left hand side, contains
the following information:
- the manufacturer's name,
- the European whole vehicle type approval number,

vehicle weight),

Technical data
D. Tyre/paint label.
This label on the middle door pillar, driver's
side, contains the following information:
- the tyre inflation pressures, laden and
unladen,
- the tyre sizes (including the tyre load
index and speed rating),
- the inflation pressure for the spare
wheel,
- the paint colour code.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
If the tyre pressures are too low, this
increases fuel consumption.
