pling as standard. In this case, the maximum per‐
missible gross vehicle weight corresponds to the
maximum permissible gross weight of the vehicle
combination.
%
If the trailer coupling is retrofitted, the identi‐
fication plates should be adapted accordingly
with the altered, maximum permissible
weights. Please consult an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center if you have any fur‐
ther questions.
6)
Maximum permissible gross weight of the
trailer if the trailer is equipped with a separate
brake system.
7)
The vehicle length for vehicles with the model
series 907.657 (Cargo Van) is 290 in (7367 mm).
The body builder label is found on the front-end
module above the radiator and contains the maxi‐
mum permissible curb weight for the vehicles.

Information about the cargo tie-down points
*
NOTE Risk of accident if the maximum
loading capacity of the cargo tie-down
point is exceeded
If you combine various cargo tie-down points
to secure a load, always take the maximum
loading capacity of the weakest cargo tie-
down point into account.
During maximum full-stop braking, forces may
act which can multiply the weight of the load.
#
Always use several cargo tie-down
points to distribute and spread the load.
Distribute the load on the cargo tie-
down points evenly.
Further information on the cargo tie-down points
and tie-down eyes can be obtained in the "Trans‐
porting" section (

the following:
R
the load is secured to two cargo tie-down
points on the rail
R
the distance to the nearest load-securing
point on the same rail is approximately 1 m
Information about roof racks
&
WARNING Risk of injury due to the maxi‐
mum roof load being exceeded
When you place a load on the roof as well as
all outer and inner attachments, the vehicle's
center of gravity will rise and the familiar driv‐
ing characteristics as well as the steering and
braking characteristics will change. When
driving around bends, the vehicle will tilt
more heavily and may react more sluggishly
to steering movements.
If you exceed the maximum roof load, the
driving characteristics, as well as the steering
and braking, will be greatly impaired.
#
Never exceed the maximum roof load
and adjust your driving style.
