Note
For vehicles for North America the side adjustment of headlight
is not permitted and has therefore an adjustment screw secured
against turning.
Inclination information in “%” is stamped into trim above headlight.
Headlights must be adjusted according to this information. Per‐
centage given is based on a projection distance of 10 metres. For
example: inclination of 1.0 % converts to approx. 10 cm.
The inclination of headlights of vehicles in the North American
market is to be set to 0.7 %.
Loading: With one person or 75 kg on the driver seat and the
vehicle otherwise unloaded (unladen weight).
The unladen weight is the weight of vehicle ready for operation
with a full fuel tank (at least 90 %) including weight of all equip‐
ment normally carried (e.g. spare wheel, tools, jack, fire extin‐
guisher etc.).
If the fuel tank is not at least 90 % full, then load as follows:
– Read fuel level in fuel tank on fuel gauge. Determine additional
weight from following table and place weight in luggage com‐
partment.

Example:
When the fuel tank is half full, an additional weight of 20 kg must
be placed in the luggage compartment.
Note
♦
Use a container filled with water or gravel, for example (a 5
litre fuel canister filled with water weighs approx. 5 kg) to pro‐
vide additional weight.
♦
Write the weight in kg on the container and secure it against
being opened again in order to prevent misuse.
♦
In order to avoid soiling vehicle, place a mat/board of some
kind in the luggage compartment.
