Weights, payload and roof load
The payload is the difference between the
permitted gross vehicle weight (see
identification plate, page 282) and the EC
kerb weight.
To calculate the kerb weight, enter the
data for your vehicle below:
z Kerb weight from
Table 1,
pages 294, 296 +.............. kg
z Additional weight of
equipment versions from
Table 2, page 297 +.............. kg
z Weight of heavy
accessories from Table 3,
page 298 +.............. kg
The total =.............. kg
is the EC kerb weight.
Optional equipment and accessories
increase the kerb weight, which means that
the payload will also change slightly.
Pay attention to weight ranges in vehicle
documents and on identification plate.

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.
When the caravan/trailer is coupled and
the towing vehicle fully loaded (including
all occupants), the permissible rear axle
load (see identification plate or vehicle
documents) may be exceeded by 40 kg. If
the permissible rear axle load is exceeded,
a maximum speed of 60 mph (100 km/h)
applies. If national regulations specify a
lower maximum speed for vehicles towing
a caravan/trailer, this must be observed.
See the identification plate or vehicle
documents for permissible axle loads.
