The payload is the difference
between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate
0Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) 0205) and the
kerb weight. For the kerb weight
in detail, refer to the technical
data section.
The kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids

increases the sensitivity of the
vehicle to cross-winds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle's
higher centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and
secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
and vehicle speed according to
the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.
