Maximum vertical load for trailer operation
The maximum vertical load for trailer operation de-
pends on the engine type and the vehicle equipment.
The valid specification for your vehicle can be found
in the technical vehicle documentation, (e.g. vehicle
approval documentation, the COC document) or at a
ŠKODA partner.
Other information (e.g. on the nameplate of the trail-
er device) merely provides information on the test
values of the device.
Support load with mounted accessories
When using the accessories (e.g. bicycle carrier), the
maximum length and the permissible total weight in-
cluding load must be considered.
The maximum length of the mounted accessories
(from the ball of the towing device) may not exceed
70 cm.
The permissible total weight of the mounted acces-
sories including its load corresponds to the maxi-
mum vertical load for trailer operation; the value can
be found in the vehicle registration documentation.
If the maximum load in trailer operation is more than
75 kg, then the permissible total weight of the
mounted accessories including their load must not
exceed 75 kg.
This value applies if the centre of gravity is at a dis-
tance of no more than 30 cm from the towing device
ball head.
If the distance of the centre gravity of the load to
the ball head of the towing device is greater than
30 cm, then the max. permissible total weight of the
accessory, including its load, decreases (e.g. at a dis-
tance of 60 cm from the ball head, the permissible
weight decreases by half).
WARNING
Risk of an accident!
▶
Do not exceed the maximum vertical load.
▶
The permissible trailer load and the weight of an-
other accessory, e.g. of the bike carrier, is not to be
exceeded.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the trailer and the vehicle itself!
