A WARNING
Please note the important safe­
ty precautions regarding tire pressure ¢
page 263 and load
limits ¢
page 266.
Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of
load or weight that any vehicle
and any tire can carry. A vehicle
that is overloaded will not handle
well and is more difficult to stop. Overloading can not only lead to
loss of vehicle control, but can al-
266
so damage important parts of the
vehicle and can lead to sudden
tire failure, including a blowout
and sudden deflation that can
cause the vehicle to crash.
Your safety and that of your pas­ sengers also depends on making
sure that load limits are not ex­
ceeded. Vehicle load includes ev­
erybody and everything in and on
the vehicle. These load limits are
technically referred to as the vehi­ cle's
Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing
("GVWR"). ..,

Tech nical data
Gross Axle Weight Rating
The G ross Ax le We ight Rating is the max imum
load that can be applied at each axle of the vehi ­
cle¢ &.
Vehicle capacity weight
The vehicle capacity we ight (max. load) is l isted
eithe r on the dr iver's side 8-pilla r or inside the
fue l filler f lap.
A WARNING
- The ac tual Gross Axle Weight Rating at the
front and rear axles shou ld not exceed the
permissible weights, and their comb inat ion
must not exceed the Gross Veh icle Weight
Rating.
Dimensions
The dimens ions can vary depending on the model
and eq uipment.
When driving on poor roads, by curbs and on
steep ramps, make su re that low-lying compo-

- Exceed ing permissible weight ratings can
result in vehicle damage, accidents and per­
sonal injury.
(D Note
- The vehicle capacity weight figures apply
when the load is d istr ibuted evenly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
t ransporting a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to the
rea r axle as possib le so that the vehicle's
hand ling is not impaired.
- Do not exceed the max imum perm iss ible
axle loads or the maxim um gross vehicle
we ight. Always remember that the ve hicle's
han dling will be affe cted by the extra load.
T herefore, a djust your spee d ac co rd ingly.
- Always observe lo cal regulations.
nents such as the spoiler and exhaust system do
not come into contact w ith these o r they co uld be
d am aged. This applies especially when the vehi ­
cl e is f ully loaded.
