Maximum permitted weights and loads
!
On vehicles with a permissible gross vehicle weight of 11030 lbs (5003 kg), the permissible
gross combination weight is less than the total of the permissible gross vehicle weight and the permissible trailer load. Exceeding the permissible gross combination weight can lead to
damage to the drivetrain, to the transmission or to the trailer tow hitch.
If the vehicle or the trailer is fully laden, the relevant value for the permissible gross vehicle weight or the permissible trailer load is therefore lower. In this case, the trailer or the vehicle may only be partially loaded.
The permissible weights and loads which cannot be exceeded can also be found: R in your vehicle documents and
R on the identification plates of the trailer tow hitch, the trailer and the vehicle (Y page 316).
You will find the basic values approved by the manufacturer in the following table. If the values
differ, the lowest value applies.
Make sure that you adhere to the weight restrictions by having the weight checked on a
calibrated weighbridge. Vehicle
