Payload
On loading, make sure that the payload's centre of gravity is as low as possible
(directly above the floor of the vehicle). Otherwise this may affect the driving
characteristics of the vehicle.
3.3.1
Terms
Maximum permissible
gross weight in a laden
condition
The maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition is the weight that
a vehicle may never exceed.
The maximum permissible overall weight in laden condition consists of the
mass in ready-to-drive condition
and of the
payload
.
In the vehicle documents, the manufacturer has specified the maximum per-
missible gross weight in a laden condition.
Permitted mass
The permitted mass is the weight specified by the manufacturer for issuing the
type approval. The permitted mass must never exceed the maximum permis-
sible gross weight of the loaded vehicle.
X
Overloading the vehicle and wrong tyre pressure can cause tyres to
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.
X
Only the maximum permissible gross weight and the mass in a ready-to-
drive condition, not the actual weight of the vehicle, is stated in the
vehicle documents. For your own safety, we recommend that you have
your loaded vehicle (with all passengers, luggage and personal objects)
weighed on a public weighbridge before you set out on your journey.
X
Adapt the speed to the payload. The stopping distance is increased if the
payload is high.
Z
Do not exceed the maximum permissible gross weight stated in the vehicle
documents by the payload.
Z
Built-in accessories and special equipment reduce the payload.
Z
Adhere to the axle load stated in the vehicle documents.

Technically speaking, the term "mass" has now replaced the term "weight".
However, "weight" is still the term more frequent in common use. For better
understanding, "mass" is therefore only used in the following sections for
fixed formulations.
