#
use only bicycle racks approved by
Mercedes-Benz. Depending on the bicycle rack's design, up to
three bicycles can be transported on the bicycle
rack.
When mounted by attaching to ball head
1 , the
maximum load capacity is 75 kg.
The load capacity is calculated from the weight
of the bicycle rack and the bicycle rack load.
The vehicle's driving characteristics will change
when a bicycle rack is fitted:
R
The vehicle will be heavier.
R
Acceleration and slope-climbing ability will
be restricted.
R

This may impair the vehicle's driving characteris‐
tics. Adapt your driving style accordingly. Drive
carefully and maintain a safe distance.

for maximum load on the rear axle of the vehicle.
Further information on the tyre pressure can be
found in the tyre pressure table (
