Trailer hitch (example with additional guide pin)
Depending on the bicycle rack's design, di erent
numbers of bicycles can be transported.
The following bicycle rack designs are possible:
R
When mounted by attaching to ball head 1 ,
the maximum load capacity is 75 kg. You can
transport up to three bicycles.
R
When mounted on ball head 1 and guide pin
2 , the maximum load capacity is 100 kg. You
can transport up to four bicycles.
The maximum load capacity is calculated from the
weight of the bicycle rack and the bicycle rack
load.
Observe the notes on driving with a roof load,
trailer or fully laden vehicle (
/
page 181).
When using a bicycle rack, set the tyre pressure
for increased load on the rear axle of the vehicle.
Further information on the tyre pressure can be
found in the tyre pressure table (
/
page 398).
NNoottes on loading es on loading
The larger the distance between the load's centre
of gravity and the ball head, the greater the load
on the trailer hitch.
Observe the following notes:
R
mount heavy bicycles as close to the vehicle
as possible
R
always distribute the load on the bicycle rack
as evenly as possible across the vehicle's lon-
gitudinal axis
Mercedes-Benz recommends removing all detach-
able parts from bicycles (e.g. baskets, child seats,
batteries) before loading them onto the bicycle
rack. This will improve the aerodynamic resist-
ance and centre of gravity of the bicycle rack.
Always secure the bicycles to prevent them from
moving around and check them at regular inter-
vals to ensure that they are secure.
Do not use tarpaulins or other covers. The driving
characteristics and rear view may be impaired. In
addition, aerodynamic resistance and the load on
the trailer hitch will increase.
