WEIGHTS (in kg)
The weights indicated are for a basic vehicle without options: they may vary depending on your vehicle’s equipment.
Consult an approved Dealer.
Maximum Permissible All-Up Weight (MMAC)
Gross Train Weight (MTR)
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMTA)
Weights are indicated on the vehicle identification plate (refer
to the information on “Vehicle identification plates” in Section 6)
Braked Trailer Weight* found by calculating: MTR - MMAC
Unbraked Trailer Weight* 750
Permissible nose weight* 75
Permissible load on the roof with the carrying device 80 (including the carrying device)
* Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the MTR - MMAC calculation is equal to zero, or when the MTR is equal to zero (or is not listed) on the
identification plate.
It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down in
the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
For vehicles fitted with a trailer, the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) must never be exceeded. However, for vehicles with
a long chassis, the following conditions are permitted:
rear axle MMTA exceeded by no more than 15%,
maximum MMAC exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reached first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressures must
be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. You need to reduce the total train weight by 10% at an al-
titude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres thereafter.
Weight transfer
If the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 350 kg can be transferred to the braked trailer, within
the limits of the Gross Train Weight.
