Gross vehicle weight is the total permissible weight of the
vehicle including passengers and their luggage. The maximum
roof rack loading should not exceed 75kg. The maximum
towing weights are based on the ability of the car, with two
occupants of 75kg each, to restart on a 12% gradient, which
is approximately 1 in 8.3 at sea level. At altitudes above 1500
metres, the engine output may drop with a corresponding
reduction in towing capability. Any extra weight, such as luggage
or additional passengers, should be deducted from the maximum
towing weight. With a trailer fully loaded, maximum noseweight
should not exceed 75kg. Always fit Vauxhall towing attachments
and accessories available from your Vauxhall retailer. They are
designed specifically for Vauxhall models and carry a 12-month
guarantee.
