is the sum of the trailer's empty weight and the
weight of the load.
The vertical coupling load
is the weight that the
trailer drawbar exerts on the trailer coupling of the
vehicle.
The rear-axle load
is the vehicle weight on the
rear axle plus the weight of the transported load
and the vertical coupling load of the trailer.
The gross weight of the vehicle and trailer
is
the sum of the weight of the towing vehicle and the

The Curb weight
- actual weight of your vehicle -
vehicle weight including standard and optional

The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
is the maxi-
mum total weight of vehicle, passengers, lug-
gage, hitch, trailer tongue load and optional equip-
ment.
The Gross Axle Weight Rating
is the maximum
load limit for the front or the rear axle. This infor-

located in the driver’s side door jamb.
For determining the compatibility of the tire and
vehicle load capabilities:
f
Please observe the chapter “TIRES, RIMS,
TRACKS” on Page 403.
The load capacity coefficient (e.g. “106”) is a min-

The Vehicle Capacity Weight
- Load Limit - is
the maximum total weight limit specified of the
load (passengers and cargo) for the vehicle. This
is the maximum weight of passengers and cargo
that can be loaded into the vehicle. This informa-
tion can be found on the tire pressure plate.
If a trailer is being towed, the trailer tongue weight
must be included as part of the cargo load.
The maximum loaded vehicle weight
is the
sum of curb weight, accessory weight, vehicle ca-
pacity weight and production options weight.
The load rating
is the maximum load that a tire
is rated to carry for a given inflation pressure.
The maximum load rating
is the load rating for
a tire at the maximum permissible inflation pres-
sure.
The cargo capacity
is the permissible weight of
cargo, the subtracted weight of passengers from
the load limit.
f
Never exceed the permissible limits.
Danger!
Risk of personal injury or death.
Injuries are much more likely in an accident
if persons ride in the cargo area.
f
Persons must ride only on the seats provided
for this purpose.
