You want to couple a trailer to your car. Where will you find details about the maximum permissible vertical loading of your car?

When coupling a trailer to your car, it's crucial to know the maximum permissible vertical loading to ensure safe towing and avoid exceeding your vehicle's capacity.

The operating manual provides specific information on your vehicle's capabilities, including weight limits related to towing. The registration certificate Part I, also known as the Fahrzeugbrief, contains technical data pertaining to the vehicle, including weight restrictions for trailers.

Both documents are necessary because they collectively provide complete information on your vehicle's limitations and safety requirements under German traffic regulations. Relying on just one source could lead to insufficient understanding of your vehicle's towing capacity, which could result in unsafe driving conditions. Always consult both sources to ensure compliance and safety.
