The following figures apply when driving in ideal conditions. The figures in actual conditions may be different, depending on the type of surface, the surrounding terrain and the load being carried. It is the responsibility of the driver to decide whether or not the vehicle is capable of safely negotiating a particular situation ►.
Maximum gradient (climbing ability)
Vertical rise over a distance of 100 metres (expressed in degrees or as a percentage). The maximum gradient which the vehicle can climb under its own power (depends on factors including the nature of the surface, engine power, etc.). Maximal permissible uphill gradient: 31°.
Ground clearance
Distance between the road surface and the lowest point on the underside of the vehicle.
- Vehicles with steel suspension: ground clearance: 210 mm
- Vehicles with air suspension*: maximum ground clearance: 245 mm
Exceeding the maximum values listed here can lead to serious personal injuries or damage to the vehicle.
- All figures were measured on even, firm surfaces with good grip and in dry weather conditions.
- Off-road conditions will, of course, be less favourable. You are advised never to utilise the vehicle s capabilities to the full, always leave an extra margin for safety.
