Tyre pressures 406 Estate

Just bought a 1999 V reg 406 2.0 HDi Estate Executive.
Trying to check the tyre pressures... :(

No label on edge of drivers door.
Manual index says go to page 15; page 15 shows a picture of the car with a note to say check door label for tyre pressures.
Looked through manual page by page, can't find tyre pressures in it anywhere.
Looked up on the Net - so many different recommendations it's hopeless.

Any help appreciated please :?:

Isn't that a bit low GingerMagic ?
I found the tyre label eventually and for 195/65 R15 tyres it says 2.3/2.4 bar which converts to 34/35 psi.
