Custom Bodies With Raised Centre Of Gravity - Volkswagen Transporter T5 Manuallines

On vehicles with high bodies and with raised centre of gravity, a reduction in vehicle performance is to be expected.
Note:
Changing the steering and braking forces for vehicle conversions for disabled persons is not possible.
The following table shows at which height the centre of gravity is permissible on vehicles with standard equipment.
These heights should not be exceeded.
