Technical data

Information on technical data

General information about specifications
As long as nothing else is specified or listed, the technical data applies to the base model. Different values may result due to optional equipment, different model versions, special equipment, and country-specific equipment. The specifications in the legal vehicle documents always take precedence.
The drive and power of the vehicle are listed in the official vehicle registration.

Weight
The values for the curb weight in the following tables apply to a vehicle ready for operation with standard equipment, without a driver, with fluids including a 100% full fuel tank. Optional equipment and retrofitted equipment will increase the specified curb weight and reduce the possible load.
The load consists of the following weight:

• Passengers.
• All luggage inside and outside the vehicle.
• Attachments.

The permitted total vehicle weight and the gross axle weight rating must never be exceeded. The permissible values are indicated on the safety compliance label or the identification label on the B-pillar on the driver’s side ⇒ Safety certificate ⇒ Identification label.

Performance
The performance was determined without equipment that limits performance, such as add-on parts.
Due to technical or legal reasons, the performance specifications and mileage may vary.
On some engines with heavy-duty suspension, the speed maximum speed may be limited and lower.

Incline angle
The incline angle is the specification up to which the vehicle can drive uphill on an angle with its power. This can depend on the road conditions, the weather conditions, and the engine power, among other things. The values apply to a vehicle that is in motion and not to a vehicle that starts to drive from a stationary position.
A rising difference in altitude (incline) on a 100 m (approx. 300 ft) stretch is given in percentage or degrees (100% = 45 degrees).
