identification plate, page 3 250) and the
EC kerb weight.

Optional equipment and accessories
increase the kerb weight, which means that
the payload will also change slightly.
Note the weights given in the vehicle
documents.
The combined total of front and rear axle
loads must not exceed the permissible
gross vehicle weight. For example, if the
front axle is bearing its maximum
permissible load, the rear axle can only
bear a load that is equal to the gross
vehicle weight minus the front axle load.
With the trailer attached and the towing
vehicle fully loaded, including all the
passengers, the permitted rear axle load
(specified on identification plate and
vehicle documents) for passenger vehicles
may be exceeded by 45 kg and the
permitted total load may be exceeded
by 50 kg.
For vans the permitted rear axle load may
be exceeded by 25 kg. The permitted total
load may be exceeded by the following
amounts with the engines

specified for trailer operation, they must be
complied with.

documents for permissible axle loads.
