SPECIFICATIONS
Weights
Max. gross vehicle weight, etc. can be read on a
label in the car.
NOTE
The documented kerb weight applies to cars
in the standard version - i.e. a car without
extra equipment or accessories. This means
that for every accessory added the loading
capacity of the car is reduced correspondingly
by the weight of the accessory.
Kerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank
90% full and all fluids.
The weight of passengers and accessories, and
towball load (p. 391) (when a trailer is hitched)
influence the load capacity and are not included
in the kerb weight.
Examples of accessories that reduce load
capacity are the different equipment levels
(e.g. Kinetic, Momentum, Summum), as well
as other accessories such as towbar, load
carrier, space box, audio system, auxiliary
lamps, GPS, fuel-driven heater, safety grille,
carpets, cargo cover, power seats, etc.
Permitted max. load = Gross vehicle weight -
Kerb weight.
For information on label location, see Type designations
(p. 386).
