The following symbols indicate the series and model of the car. For example, “C” for C series (C1, C2, C3, etc.), ‘B’ for Berlingo, “X” for X series (Xsara, Xantia), etc. The symbols after the series identify the body type (e.g. sedan, station wagon, hatchback) and the specific vehicle modification.
