Weights

WEIGHTS (in kg)

The weights shown are those of a basic vehicle without options; they vary depending on your vehicle's equipment. Consult your brand representative.

* Towing capacity (towing a caravan, boat, ...)

Towing is prohibited when the calculation GTW - GVW equals zero, or when the GTW is zero (or not stated) on the manufacturer's plate.

• It is important to comply with the towing conditions permitted by local legislation and, in particular, those set out in the Highway Code. For any towbar fitting, contact your brand representative.
• When towing, the gross train weight (vehicle + trailer) must never be exceeded. However, the following is tolerated:

• rear GAW exceeded by up to 15%,
• GVW exceeded by up to 10% or 100 kg (whichever limit is reached first).

In both cases, the maximum speed of the combination must not exceed 100 km/h and tyre pressure must be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).

• As engine output and hill-climbing ability decrease with altitude, we recommend reducing the maximum load by 10% at 1,000 metres, then by a further 10% for each 1,000-metre step.

Load transfer (except company versions)

Depending on local legislation, when the vehicle's GVW is not reached, up to 300 kg may be transferred to the braked trailer, within the vehicle's GTW limit.
