Weights; Towing Weights - Renault Espace Driver's Handbook Manual

WEIgHTs (in kg)
The weights indicated for a basic vehicle without options: they vary depending on the your vehicle's equipment. Consult
your approved Dealer.
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMAC)
Total train weight (MTR)
Braked Trailer Weight*
Unbraked Trailer Weight*
permissible nose weight*
permissible load on the roof with the carrying device
* Towing weight (Towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the calculation MTR (Total train weight) - MMAC (Maximum permissible all-up weight) is zero.
– It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down in
the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
– When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded. However the following is
permitted:
– the Maximum permissible weight at the rear may be exceeded by no more than 15%,
– the maximum permissible all-up weight may be exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever occurs first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the towing assembly must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressure must be
increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10%
at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres thereafter.
Weight transfer
If the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 500 kg can be transferred to the braked trailer, within
the limits of the Gross Train Weight.
Weights are indicated on the vehicle identification plate (refer to
the information on "Vehicle identification plates" in Section 6)
