Identification Markings; Vehicle Identification Number (Vin); Tyre/Paint Label - PEUGEOT 301 Handbook

Identification markings

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:
- The tyre pressures, for unladen and
laden conditions.
- The tyre sizes.
- The spare tyre inflation pressure.
- The paint colour code.
D Manufacturer's label.
The number is indicated on a self-
destroying label affixed to the lower part
of the right hand centre pillar.
Low tyre pressure introduces the risk of a
burst tyre.
Technical data
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.
