Notes on technical data

General information on the data

Except where indicated or specifically stated, the technical data apply to the basic model. The

values may differ if additional equipment is fitted, for different model versions and for special

vehicles and in the case of country-specific vehicle specifications. All data in the official vehicle

documents always take precedence.

Please observe the notes and information for vehicles with N1 approval (→ N1 approval,

Description).

Electric drive

The vehicle data sticker and the official vehicle documents show which electric drive is installed

in your vehicle.

Weight

The values for the kerb weight in the following tables apply to the road-ready vehicle with driver

(75 kg), service fluids and, if applicable, tools and spare tyre. Additional equipment and

retrofitted accessories increase the stated kerb weight and reduce the maximum permitted load

accordingly.

The load comprises the weights of the following:

—Passengers

—All luggage

—Add-on parts

—Roof load

Performance figures

The values apply only for optimum road and weather conditions.

The performance figures were measured without equipment which may detrimentally affect

performance, such as add-on parts.

Gradient angle

The gradient angle is an indication of the vehicle’s gradeability and corresponds to the gradient

that the vehicle can drive up under its own power. This depends on aspects such as the road

surface, weather conditions and engine power. The values apply to a moving vehicle and not to

driving off from standstill.

The number of metres in height gained over a distance of 100 m (gradient) will be given as a

percentage or degree value (100 % = 45 degrees).

Vehicle identification number

Fig. 1 In the windscreen: vehicle identification number.

The vehicle identification number (chassis number) can be read from outside the vehicle through a

viewer in the windscreen. The viewer is located in the lower corner of the windscreen.

On some models, the vehicle identification number may be displayed in the Infotainment system in

the Service menu or in the vehicle settings.

Depending on model, market and engine, the vehicle identification number may also be stamped at

one of the following locations:

—In the engine compartment in the right water drainage channel.

—In the engine compartment on the right suspension turret.

—In the engine compartment close to the bonnet hinge on the right side of the vehicle.
