Preparing The Measuring Platform

  1. Prepare the measuring platform (combined turnplates/sliding plates and weighting plates) and fit to the wheelbase.
  2. Carry out measuring preparations (full tank, fill in washer fluid and set the prescribed tire pressure).
  3. Drive vehicle onto measuring platform. Drive as carefully as possible to avoid bottoming the vehicle (the front spoiler).

    Due to the reduced vehicle height, additional -Stepped drive-on ramps with intermediate layers if necessary -  must be used to drive onto the floor-mounted measuring platforms. Measuring platforms without an inclination are unsuitable.
