Volkswagen Polo Owners Manual: Vehicle-specific weight ratings

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings

All data in the official vehicle documents take precedence over these data. All data in this manual apply to the basic model. The vehicle data sticker in the service schedule and the official vehicle documents show which engine is installed in your vehicle.

The values quoted here may differ if additional equipment is fitted, for different models or for special vehicles.

The values for the kerb weight in the following table apply for the road-ready vehicle with driver (75 kg), service fluids including fuel tank carrying 90% of its capacity and, if applicable, tools and spare tyre . Additional equipment and retrofitted accessories increase the stated kerb weight and reduce the maximum permitted load accordingly.

The load comprises the weights of the following:

• Passengers

• All luggage

• Roof load including roof carrier system

• Drawbar load when towing a trailer

WARNING

Exceeding the maximum permissible weights and axle loads can cause damage to the vehicle, accidents and serious injuries.

• The actual axle loads must never exceed the maximum permissible axle loads.

• The payload and the distribution of the load in the vehicle have an effect on the driving response and braking distance of the vehicle. Adjust your speed accordingly.

NOTICE

The payload should be distributed as evenly as possible in the vehicle. When transporting heavy objects in the luggage compartment, they should be placed either in front of or over the rear axle in order to minimise the effect on the vehicle's handling.
