Distance from road surface (350 – 420 mm,
laden)
The distance from the road surface depends on
the vehicle model.
Only use a trailer tow hitch which has been tes-
ted and specially approved by Mercedes-Benz
for your vehicle.
Trailer loads
When towing a trailer, the permissible gross
vehicle weight is increased by 100 kg for vehi-
cles with passenger vehicle approval. The per-
missible gross vehicle weight must be observed.
The road speed of the vehicle must be limited to
a maximum of 100 km/h in accordance with
Directive 92/21/EEC.
The following values vary and are dependent
upon:
R
type of vehicle
R
the permissible gross vehicle weight
R
rear axle ratio
R
other possible optional equipment
You must therefore observe the entries in the
vehicle documentation regarding operation with
a trailer. The relevant permissible values (that
should not be exceeded) can be found there.
These specifications can also be found on the
type plates of the trailer tow hitch of the trailer
and the vehicle. If the values differ, the lowest
value applies.
When driving in mountainous areas, note that
the power output of the engine, and with it the
gradient climbing capability of the vehicle,
decrease with increasing altitude.
!
Vehicles with engine power output
below 100 kW: reduce the total weight of the
vehicle/trailer combination for journeys with
a trailer at altitudes over 1000 m. A reduction
of 5% of the permissible total weight of the
vehicle/trailer combination per 500 m above
an altitude of 1000 m is a guide value. You
may otherwise overload the clutch of the vehi-
cle. Overloading the clutch leads to excessive
and premature wear and may damage it.
When driving on roads at an altitude above
1000 m with only slight gradients of less than
8% you do not need to reduce the total weight
of the vehicle/trailer combination..
The following values are valid for journeys at
altitudes up to 1000 m above sea level with gra-
dients up to 12%.
