Seats and stowing
Driving, braking and steering characteristics
change depending on:
Type of load,
R
Weight
R
The center of gravity of the load.
R
The gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the vehicle
weight including fuel, vehicle tool kit, spare
wheel, accessories installed, vehicle occupants,
luggage and load.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible pay‐
load weight or permissible gross mass (GVWR)
for your vehicle. The maximum permissible pay‐
load weight and GVWR are given on the vehicle
identification plate found on the driver's door B-
pillar.
Furthermore, the load must be distributed in
such a way that the weight on each axle never
exceeds the maximum gross axle weight rating
(GAWR) for the front and rear axles. The relevant
GVWR and GAWR information can be found on
the vehicle identification plate on the driver's
side B-pillar.
