Weights

Your car's maximum gross vehicle weight can be read on a label in the car.

Maximum gross vehicle weightKerb weight + cargo + passengers

The documented kerb weight applies to cars in the standard version, such as 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.

Weighing the car is a sure way to determine the kerb weight of your own particular car.

 Warning

The car's driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded and how the load is distributed.
