Load: Vehicle must be loaded with one person on the drivers seat, weighing 75 kg, otherwise vehicle must be empty (curb weight).
The curb weight is the weight of the vehicle ready to be operated with filled fuel tank (at least 90% filled), including the weight of all equipment usually carried in the car such as spare wheel, tools, car jack, fire extinguisher, etc.
If the fuel tank is not at least 90% full, adjust the weight as follows
- Read fuel level from fuel gauge. Calculate additional weight needed using the following table. Place extra weight in luggage compartment.
| Fuel level according to fuel gauge | Additional weight in luggage compartment in lbs (kg) |
|---|---|
| 1/4 | 66 (30) |
| 1/2 | 44 (20) |
| 3/4 | 22 (10) |
| Full | 0 (0) |
