Maximum permissible rear axle load
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
The vehicle identification number - VIN (vehicle body number) is stamped on
the right hand suspension strut dome in the engine compartment. This num-
ber is also located on a sign on the lower left hand edge below the windscreen
(together with a VIN bar code), together with a nameplate.
The VIN number can also be displayed in Infotainment » Owner´s Manual Info-
tainment .
Engine number
The engine number (three-digit code letter and serial number) is stamped onto
the engine block.
Supplementary Information (applies to Russia)
The full type approval number of the means of transport is indicated in the
registration documents, field 17.
Maximum permissible trailer weight
The listed maximum permissible trailer weight is only valid for altitudes up to
1000 m above sea level.
The engine output falls as altitude increases, as does the ability to climb.
Therefore, for every additional 1,000 m in height (or part), the maximum per-
missible towed weight must be reduced by 10 %.
The towed weight comprises the actual weights of the (loaded) towing vehicle and the (loaded) trailer.WARNINGDo not exceed the specified maximum permissible weights – risk of an acci-
dent and damage.
Operating weight
This value is only a guide value and corresponds to the lowest possible operat-
ing weight without any equipment added that would also increase the weight
(e.g. air conditioning, emergency or spare wheel etc.). It also includes a weight
allowance for the driver (75 kg), the weight of the operating fluids, the tool kit
and a fuel tank filled to 90 % capacity.
