The EC kerb weight includes weights for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank 90 % full). Optional equipment and accessories increase the kerb weight. ■ Driving with a roof load increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds and has a detrimental effect on vehicle handling due to the vehicle’s higher centre of gravity.
