Weights
Max. gross vehicle weight, etc. can be read on a label in the car.
The kerb weight includes the driver and all oils and fluids.
The weight of the passengers and installed accessories, plus the towball load (when there is a trailer connected) influence the load capacity and are not included in the kerb weight.
Permitted max. load = Gross vehicle weight - Kerb weight.
Note
The documented kerb weight applies to cars in the standard version - i.e. a car without extra equipment or accessories. This means that for every accessory added the loading capacity of the car is reduced correspondingly by the weight of the accessory.
Examples of accessories that reduce load capacity are the different equipment levels, as well as other accessories such as towbar, load holder, space box, auxiliary lamps, GPS, heater, safety grille, carpets, cargo cover, power seats, etc.
Weighing the car is a certain way of ascertaining the kerb weight of your own particular car.
