Notes

• Other model versions
and
optional
ex­
tras
-
e.g.
air
conditioner, automatic gear­box, sliding
roof,
towing bracket
etc. and

service
installation
of
accessories
in­

creases
the unladen weight and the payload
has
to be
reduced
by
this amount.
•
The
load must
be
stowed
so
that
it
can­
not slide about
or fly
forward when
the

brakes
are
applied.
If
necessary
use the
lashing eyes provided. • When carrying heavy loads,
the
load

should,
in
the
interests
of
good handling,
be
placed,
where possible, between
the
axles.
The permissible axle
and
gross vehicle weights must
not be
exceeded
on any
ac­
count. Bear
in
mind also
that
the
load will
alter
the
vehicle handling. Driving style
and
speed
must therefore
be
adapted
to
suit. Without driver

Use
only
the
roof load carrying system
ap­

proved
by us.
Distribute load evenly.
Do not

exceed
permissible roof load including roof rack
- and
permissible vehicle weight.
For

further
details see page
75

On
vehicles
with
a
pop-up roof
the
unladen
weight
is
increased
by 60 kg
and which corre­
spondingly reduces
the
payload.

Detailed information on trailer towing is given
on page 81 .
The combined weight is made up of the per­
missible
gross vehicle weight of the towing
vehicle and the permissible gross weight of the trailer. When the permissible trailer pay-load is fully utilized, in some
cases
the weight
of the towing vehicle must be correspondingly
reduced.
However, the towing vehicle must
not be lighter than the trailer.

SPECIAL
INFORMATION

Adjusting
the
brake
pressure
regulator

The
Caravelle/Transporter is
fitted
with
a
pressure/load
sensitive brake pressure
regulator (brake pressure reducer) which li­
mits the brake pressure on the rear axle to
the set value. See also sticker on the end of
the
left
door below the lock. The regulator is
set
at the factory so
that
normally even after

fitting
a body, The brakes should work per­
fectly.

Only
in special
cases
when it is found during

a
road test
that
the braking effect on the rear

axle
is too low or too high, must the regula­
tor be reset by a Volkswagen dealer.
