Certification label
Even after careful determination of the
combined weight of all occupants, cargo
and the trailer tongue load (if applica-
ble) (
컄 page 319) as to not exceed the
permissible load limit, you must make
sure your vehicle never exceeds the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for ei-
ther the front or rear axle. You can ob-
tain the GVWR and GAWR from the
certification label. The certification label
can be found on the driver’s door B-pil-
lar, see “Technical data” (
컄 page 432).
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR):
The total weight of the vehicle, all occu-
pants, all cargo, and the trailer tongue
load (
컄 page 319) must never exceed the
GVWR.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): The
total allowable weight that can be car-
ried by a single axle (front or rear).
To assure that your vehicle does not ex-
ceed the maximum permissible weight
limits (GVWR and GAWR for front and
rear axle), have the loaded vehicle (in-
cluding driver, passengers and all cargo
and, if applicable, trailer fully loaded)
weighed on a suitable commercial scale.
Trailer tongue load
The tongue load of any trailer is an im-
portant weight to measure because it af-
fects the load you can carry in your
vehicle. If a trailer is towed, the tongue
load must be added to the weight of all
occupants riding and any cargo you are
carrying in the vehicle. The tongue load
typically is 10 percent of the trailer
weight and everything loaded in it.
Your Maybach has been designed prima-
rily to carry passengers and their cargo.
We not recommend trailer towing with
your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with the Tire
and Loading Information placard located
on the driver’s door B-pillar
(
컄 page 315).
The tire inflation pressure should be
checked regularly and should only be ad-
justed on cold tires. The tires can be con-
sidered cold if the vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours or driven less
than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Follow recommended cold tire inflation
pressures listed on Tire and Loading In-
formation placard on the driver’s door
B-pillar.
Keeping the tires properly inflated
provides the best handling, tread life and
riding comfort.
Recommended tire inflation pressure
Warning! G
Follow recommended tire inflation
pressures.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated
tires wear excessively and/or unevenly,
adversely affect handling and fuel econo-
my, and are more likely to fail from being
overheated.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires
can adversely affect handling and ride
comfort, wear unevenly, increase stopping
distance, and result in sudden deflation
(blowout) because they are more likely to
become punctured or damaged by road
debris, potholes etc.
