General information
- Do not exceed the legally prescribed
maximum speed for vehicle/trailer
combinations in the relevant country.
This lowers the risk of an accident.
- Only install an approved trailer coupling on
your vehicle.
Further information on availability and on
installation is available from any authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
- The bumpers of your vehicle are not
suitable for installing detachable trailer
couplings.
- Do not install hired trailer couplings or
other detachable trailer couplings on the
bumpers of your vehicle.
- To reduce the risk of damage to the ball
coupling, remove it from the ball coupling
recess when not in use.
When towing a trailer, set the tire pressure on the rear axle of the towing vehicle for a maximum load; see the tire pressure table in the fuel filler flap.
You will find installation dimensions and loads in the "Technical data".
The maximum noseweight of the trailer drawbar on the ball coupling is16. However, the actual noseweight must not exceed the value given on the trailer tow hitch or trailer identification plates. The lowest weight applies.
Use a drawbar noseweight as close as
possible to the maximum permissible
noseweight. Do not use a noseweight of
less than the minimum permissible
noseweight, as the trailer may otherwise
come loose. Missing values were not
available at time of going to print.
Note that the payload and the rear axle load
are reduced by the actual payload.
Please note that when towing a trailer, PARKTRONIC (Y page 183) and Blind Spot Assist (Y page 198) are only available with limitations, or not at all.
On vehicles without level control, the
height of the ball coupling will alter
according to the load placed on the vehicle.
If necessary, use a trailer with a heightadjustable
drawbar.
