VEHICLE WEIGHTS AND PAYLOAD

When loading a vehicle to its maximum (Gross Vehicle Weight), consideration must be taken of the vehicle kerb
weight and the distribution of the payload to ensure that axle loadings do not exceed the permitted maximum
values. It is the customer’s responsibility to limit the vehicle’s payload in an appropriate manner such that neither
maximum axle loads nor Gross Vehicle Weight are exceeded.

NOTE: EEC KERB WEIGHT is the minimum vehicle specification, plus full fuel tank and 75 kg
driver. GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT is the maximum all-up weight of the vehicle including driver,
passengers, and equipment. This figure is liable to vary according to legal requirements in certain

countries.

Maximum roof rack load (including weight of rack) 75 kg must be included in total vehicle weight.

(*) Long wheelbase vehicles (2.74m, 108")

The pressure of tyres must be increased be 0.3 bar (3 lbf in

0.2 kgf/cm

). For use with sustained driving speeds

above 160 km/hr (100 miles/hour) or with heavy axle loads.
Normal operating pressures should be restored as soon as reasonable road conditions or hard ground is reached.
After any usage off the road, tyres and wheels should be inspected for damage particularly if high cruising speeds
are subsequently to be used.

Towing: When the vehicle is used for towing, the reduced rear tyre pressures for extra ride comfort are
not applicable.

WARNING: Vehicles fitted with tubeless alloy road wheels as original equipment, note that these
wheels DO NOT accept inner tubes and tubed tyres MUST NOT be fitted.
