Weights, Payload And Roof Load - Vauxhall Corsa Owner's Manual

Weights, payload and roof load

The payload is the difference between
the permitted Gross Vehicle Weight (see
identification plate - see page 212) and the
EC kerb weight.
To calculate the kerb weight, enter the
data for your vehicle below:
z Kerb weight from
Table 1,
pages 225 to 231
z Weight of heavy
accessories from Table 2,
page 232
The total
is the EC kerb weight.
Optional equipment and accessories
increase the kerb weight, which means that
the payload will also change slightly.
Note the weights given in the vehicle
documents.
224
The combined total of front and rear axle
loads must not exceed the permissible
Gross Vehicle Weight. For example, if the
front axle is bearing its maximum
permissible load, the rear axle can only
bear a load that is equal to the Gross
Vehicle Weight minus the front axle load.
