The handbook gives your 2008's dimensions in millimetres. These dimensions were measured on an unladen vehicle.
Identification markings
Your 2008 carries several visible markings that identify the car. Here is where to find each one:
- A. VIN under the bonnet: the Vehicle Identification Number is stamped on the chassis.
- B. VIN on the dashboard: printed on an adhesive label that you can see through the windscreen.
- C. Manufacturer's label: affixed to the right-hand door.
- D. Tyres/paint code label: affixed to the driver's door.
The manufacturer's label shows the following information:
- Manufacturer's name.
- European whole vehicle type approval number.
- Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
- Gross vehicle weight (GVW).
- Gross train weight (GTW).
- Maximum weight on the front axle.
- Maximum weight on the rear axle.
The tyres/paint code label shows the paint colour code and this tyre information:
- Tyre pressures, unladen and laden.
- Tyre specification, made up of the dimensions and type as well as the load and speed indices.
- Spare tyre inflation pressure.
Your car may have been fitted from new with tyres that have higher load and speed indices than those on the label. This does not affect the tyre pressures (on cold tyres). If you change the type of tyres, contact a PEUGEOT dealer for the tyre fits approved for your car.
