especially intended for this vehicle, please contact your
competent dealer. Your dealer will check if these attach-
ments may be attached and used with this vehicle. This is
essential for the safety of the driver and the vehicle as well
as for possible warranty claims.

All dimensional specifications in (m)
TL (kg) = Kerb weight of the vehicle
TV (kg) = Front axle load of the empty vehicle
TH (kg) = Rear axle load of the empty vehicle
