The vehicle's performance has been calculated
without any equipment that reduces it, e.g. e.g., river
accessories.
Notes on technical data
For technical approval or fiscal reasons, power values
and benefits may vary.
Data Overview
On some engines with undercarriage for rough roads,
the maximum speed may be limited and therefore lower
than indicated.
Unless stated otherwise, the technical data is valid for
the basic model. The indicated values may differ
depending on the optional equipment or model version,
as well as in the case of special vehicles and equipment
for certain countries. The data from the official vehicle
documentation always have priority.
Mass of the towing vehicle and trailer
combination The masses indicated for the towing
vehicle and trailer combination are only valid for
maximum altitudes of 1000 m (3000 feet) above sea
level. The maximum authorized mass of the towing
vehicle and trailer combination must be reduced by
approx. 10%. for every 1,000 m (3,000 ft) of additional height.
Observe the notes and information regarding vehicles in
category N1 ÿ p. 384, Important information for vehicles

Grade angle Grade
angle is the gradeability value up to which the vehicle
can overcome a grade under its own power. This
depends on, among other things, the road surface,
weather conditions and engine power. The values apply
to a moving vehicle and not to starting from a standstill.
Engine
The data carrier sticker and the official vehicle
documentation show the engine that is mounted on the
vehicle.
Mass
The height (slope) reached in a 100 m (300 ft)
section is indicated in percentage or in degrees (100% =
45 degrees).
The values of the mass in running order given in the
following tables apply to the vehicle ready to drive with
the fuel tank 90% full and considering the weight of the
driver (75 kg [165 lb]), of which operating fluids and, if
necessary, tools and the spare wheel. The indicated
Vehicle identification number
mass in running order is increased with optional
equipment and retrofitting of accessories, thereby
correspondingly reducing the possible payload.
The payload results from the sum of the following pe
you are:
— passengers
— total baggage
- accessories
— load on the roof —
vertical load on the coupling when driving with a trailer
Never exceed the total mass of the vehicle or the ma
sa maximum authorized per axle, not even when carrying
a trailer. The authorized values can be found on the
safety certificate ("safety compliance label") on the B-
pillar on the driver's side ÿ p. 381.
