Chassis designations with PR numbers
A variety of chassis can be installed depending
on the engine used and the equipment fitted.
These all designated with a PR number.
The chassis which is installed in the vehicle is
documented by the PR number for the front axle
recorded on the vehicle data carrier.
The vehicle data carrier is located at the rear on
the left of the base of the luggage compartment
and in the service plan.
KExample of a vehicle data carrier
This example shows that the vehicle is fitted with
a standard chassis 1GA arrow .
