Right...
Top weight is your kurb weight
Second down is the weight you can tow, minus your kurb weight (2950-1750=1200kg)
The one with the 1 - is the front axle weight max
The one with the 2- is the rear axle weight max

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curb_weight
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_v..._weight_rating
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_c..._weight_rating
so based on this...the 1750kg would be the Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)
(this is the car will all fuel and oil on board and passengers, cargo and towbar, but no trailer)
curb weight is just the car with a full tank of fuel but no passengers or cargo (this is not listed)
and the 2950 kg is the Gross combined weight rating (GCWR)
(this is the same as above but including the trailer fully loaded)
(this means i can tow 1200kgs, if the car weighs 1750 kgs with all passengers and luggage)
