■ The payload is the difference
between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate
3
198) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the EC kerb weight,
enter the data for your vehicle in the
Weights table on page

3.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank
90 % full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
■ Driving with a roof load 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.
The permissible roof load is 75 kg
and 100 kg for vehicles with roof
railing. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.
