WARNING
- The act ual Gross Axle Weight Rating at
the front and rear axles should not ex-
ceed the permissible weights, and their
combination must not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating.
- Exceeding permissib le weight ratings can
result in vehicle damage, accidents and
personal injury.
- The vehicle capacity weight figures apply
when the load is distributed evenly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to
the rear axle as possible so that the vehi-
cle's handling is not impa ired.
- Do not exceed the maximum permissible
axle loads or the maximum gross vehicle
weig ht. Always remember that the vehi-
cle's handling will be affected by the ex-
tra load. Therefore, adjust your speed ac-
cord ingly.
- Always observe local regu lations.
