Trailer w w eights
Drawbar w w eights
The maximum permissible weight of the
trailer drawbar on the ball of the towing
hitch must not exceed 50 kg.
The minimum required drawbar weight
must be 4 % of actual trailer weight but
need not be more than 25 kg. It is advis-
able to make use of the maximum permis-
sible drawbar weight.
Notes
These weights are valid for European
Union vehicles. Vehicles for other coun-
tries may have other weights. At all times,
it should be taken into account that the
data given with the official vehicle docu-
ments prevails.
For s s afety r r easons d d o n n ot d d rive
above 8 8 0 k k m/h, n n ot e e ven i i n c c ountries
where t t ravelling a a t a a g g reater s s peed i i s
permitted.
Due to special versions of certain models
and optional extras such as air condition-
ing, sliding/tilting roof, tow bar, and other
added features, the free standing weight
increases, meaning that the load-size is
correspondingly reduced.
