Weights
Max. gross vehicle weight, etc. can be read on a label in the car. Kerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank 90% full and all fluids. The weight of passengers and accessories, and towball load (p. 391) (when a trailer ishitched) influence the load capacity and arenot included in the kerb weight. Permitted max. load = Gross vehicle weight - Kerb weight.
NOTE
The documented kerb weight applies to cars in the standard version - i.e. a carwithout extra equipment or accessories.This means that for every accessory addedthe loading capacity of the car is reducedcorrespondingly by the weight of theaccessory. Examples of accessories that reduce load- ing capacity are the Kinetic/Momentum/Summum equipment levels, as well asother accessories such as Towbar, Loadcarriers, Space box, Audio system, Auxili-ary lamps, GPS, Fuel-driven heater, Safetygrille, Carpets, Cargo cover, Power seats,etc. Weighing the car is a certain way of ascer- taining the kerb weight of your own partic-ular car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded andhow the load is distributed.
For information on label location, see Type des- ignations (p. 386).

WARNING
19-inch wheels must never be used on
cars that are not equipped with the R-
Design or Sport chassis options. The use of 19-inch wheels on cars with standard
chassis constitutes a safety risk, with a
risk of vehicle damage, and it impairs thecar's driving characteristics.
