Swift Tourer Owner's Handbook Manual page 17

Items fitted at the point of manufacturer (wheel
locks, hook-up cable, plastic steps, waste
containers, etc.) are included within the vehicle
MRO.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should
the maximum technically permissible laden
mass (MTPLM) be exceeded.
Upgrading of maximum technically
permissible laden mass:
The lower (or standard) MTPLM is quoted in
the Technical Handbook, in brochures and on
the caravan weight plate. However, in some
cases it may be possible to increase this
to a higher (upper) MTPLM. (See Technical
Handbook for details).
If extra user payload is required, an upgrade
maybe available (model dependant), this
must be requested via your dealer and is
chargeable.
If required you will be issued with the following:
(i) New weight plate giving upgrade weight
details.
(ii) New NCC certificate (declaring the
upgraded MTPLM)
(iii) Manufacturers letter confirming the
upgrade for that Vehicle Identification
Number.

Note: Tyre pressures may increase when
upgrading.
Nose weight:
The vertical weight transferred to the towing
vehicle through the coupling head.
Notes:
(i) When measuring the noseweight it is
important that the caravan is fully loaded.
Do not place extra items indiscriminately
into the caravan after this adjustment has
been made.
(ii) The caravan is intended to be towed
slightly nose heavy. The nose weight can
be adjusted by distribution of the load
within the caravan. The nose weight
should be approximately 7% of the actual
laden weight (but not greater than the
hitch capacity) and at the same time
suit the towing vehicle. See section on
Measurement of Nose Weight.
(iii) It is not recommended that you tow with
just a battery, spare wheel and gas bottles
as this may exceed the permitted nose
weight. Additional payload must be placed
behind the axle to compensate for this.
