Important
When driving with a trailer, it is permitted to exceed the vehicle’s gross vehicle weight (including towball load) by a maximum of 100 kg (220 lbs), provided that speed is limited to 100 km/h (62 mph). National legal requirements for the vehicle combination, such as speed, etc. must be observed.
Note
If there is no weight data in the table, this is available in an enclosed supplement.

Weights
Max. gross vehicle weight, etc. can be read on a label in the car.
Kerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank 90% full, plus 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 accessories that reduce load capacity are the different equipment levels, as well as other accessories such as tow bar, load carrier, roof box, audio system, auxiliary lamps, GPS, fuel-driven heater, 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.
- Max. gross vehicle weight
- Max. train weight (car+trailer)
- Max. front axle load
- Max. rear axle load
- Equipment level
Max. load: See registration document.
Max. roof load: 75 kg.
