Technical Data
Weights, payload and roof load
The payload is the difference between the
permitted gross vehicle weight (see
identification plate 3 168) and the EC kerb
weight.
Optional equipment and accessories
increase the kerb weight, which means that
the payload will also change slightly.
Note weight ranges in the vehicle
documents and on the rating 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.
Roof loads are not permitted.
