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

Maximum Authorised Laden Weight (MAM)
Gross Combination Weight (MTR)		 Weights shown on the manufacturer's plate (refer to the "Identification plates" section in chapter 6)
Braked Trailer Weight calculated as: GTW - MAM
Unbraked Trailer Weight 650
Maximum Tow Ball Load 75
Maximum roof load with roof rack 80 kg (including roof rack system)

Maximum towable weight (caravan, boat, etc.)

  • 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.
