[DML] Re: Max. allowed weight etc.

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Stian - I don't know if your car is missing the ID plate that is 
normally mounted next to the aft latch pin on the driver's side door 
opening.  This plate carries the information that you are asking 
about.  On the US version, the Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Rating 
is 3180 lbs.  The rating for the front "axle" is 1244 lbs, while the 
rear rating is 1936 lbs.  I would guess that you can just convert to 
metric units from those values.  I hope that this answers your 
questions.
