Weights
- Maximum total weight, etc., can be read on a decal in the car.
- The kerb weight includes the driver and all oils and fluids.
- The weight of passengers and accessories, and towball load (when a trailer is hitched) influence the load capacity and are not included in the kerb weight.
- Permitted max. load = Gross vehicle weight – Kerb weight.
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.
- Examples of options that reduce load capacity are the different equipment levels, as well as other options such as towbar, load holder, space box, audio system, auxiliary lamps, safety grille, carpets, cargo cover, power seats, etc.
- Weighing the car is a certain way of ascertaining the kerb weight of your own particular car.
Warning
The car’s driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded and how the load is distributed.
