section). The kerb weight is equal to the unladen
weight
+ driver (75 kg).
The gross train weight and towed load values
indicated apply up to a maximum altitude
of 1
000 metres; the towed load mentioned
must be reduced by 10 % for every additional
1
000 metres.High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the performance of
the vehicle to protect the engine; when the
ambient temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit
the towed weight.
Towing with a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when towing
a trailer.

your country).
For information on the maximum trailer weight
for your vehicle, contact a CITR

load on the towbar ball (removable with or
without tools).
GVW: gross vehicle weight, the maximum
authorised vehicle weight.
GTW: gross train weight, the maximum
authorised weight of vehicle plus trailer.
