To avoid hazardous situations:
R make sure to check the noseweight before
each journey
R use adrawbar noseweight as close as pos-
sible to the maximum noseweight
R do not exceed the maximum permissible
noseweight
R do not use anoseweight lower than the
minimum noseweight
When reversin gthe vehicle towards the
trailer, make sure there is nobody between
the trailer and the vehicle.
Couple and uncouple the trailer carefully. If
you do not couple the trailer to the towing
vehicle correctly, the trailer could become
detached.
Make sure that the following values are not
exceeded:
R the permissible trailer drawbar noseweight
R the permissible trailer load
R the permissible rear axle load of the towing
vehicle
R the maximum permissible gross vehicle
weight of both the towing vehicle and the
trailer
You will find the applicable permissible val-
ues, which must not be exceeded, in the vehi-
cle documents.
You will find the values approved by the man- ufacturer on the vehicle identification plates
and those for the towing vehicle under "Tech-
nical data" (Y page 484).
When towing atrailer, your vehicle's handling
characteristics will be different in comparison to when driving without atrailer.
The vehicle/trailer combination:
R is heavier
R is restricted in its acceleration and gradi-
ent-climbin gcapability
R has an increased braking distance
R is affected more by stron gcrosswinds
R demands more sensitive steering
R has alarger turnin gcircle This can impair the vehicle's handling char-
acteristics. Adapt your driving style accord-
ingly. Maintain
asafe distance. Drive care-
fully.
When towing atrailer, alway sadjust your
speed to the curren troad and weather con-
ditions. Do not exceed the maximum permis- sible speed for your vehicle/trailer combina-
tion. Notes on towing

R E1 80
R E63A MG
R E63A MG S-MODEL
R E63A MG 4MATIC

i When towing
atrailer, set the tyre pres-
sure on the rear axle of the towing vehicle
for am aximum load; see the tyre pressure
table in the fuel filler flap (Y page 420).
Please notet hat when towing atrailer,
PARKTRONIC (Y page 235), Active Parking
Assist (Y page 239) and Blind Spot Assist
(Y page 257) are only available with limita-
tions, or not at all.
i On vehicles without level control, the
height of the ball coupling will alter accord-
ing to the load placed on the vehicle. If nec- essary, use atrailer with aheight-adjusta-
ble drawbar.
You will find fitting dimensions and loads
under "Technical data" (Y page 482).
Driving tips i
Observe the notes on ESP ®
trailer stabi-
lisation (Y page 86). Towing

267Driving and parking Z

The maximum permissible speed for vehicle/
trailer combinations depends on the type of
trailer. Before beginnin gthe journey, check
the trailer's document stosee what the max-
imum permitted speed is. Observe the legally
prescribed maximum speed in the relevant
country.
For certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the max-
imum permissible rear axle load is increased
when towing atrailer. See the "Technical
data" section to find out whether this applies to your vehicle (Y page 484). If you utilise any
of the added maximum rear axle load when
towing atrailer, the vehicle/trailer combina-
tion may not exceed amaximum speed of
100 km/hf or reasons concerning the oper-
ating permit. This also applie sincountrie sin
which the permissible maximu mspee dfor
vehicle/trailer combinations is above
100 km/h.
When towing atrailer, you rvehicle's handling
characteristics wil lbedifferent in comparison
to whe ndriving without atrailer and it will
consume more fuel.
Change into alower gea ringood time on long
and steep downhill gradients.
i This also applie
sifyou have activated
cruis econtrol, SPEEDTRONIC or
DISTRONIC PLUS.
This wil luse the braking effect of the engine,
so less braking wil lberequired to maintain
vehicle speed. This relieves the loa donthe
brake system and prevents the brake sfrom
overheating and wearing too quickly. If you
need additiona lbraking, depress the brake
pedal repeatedl yrather than continuously.
Driving tips If the trailer swings from side to side:
X Do not accelerate.
X Do not countersteer.
X Brake if necessary. R
Maintain agreater distance to the vehicle in
front than whe ndriving without atrailer.
R Avoid braking abruptly .Ifpossible ,brake
gently at first to allow the trailer to run on.
Then, increase the braking force rapidly.
R The values give nfor gradient-climbing
capabilities from astandstil lrefer to sea
level. When driving in mountainous areas,
note that the power outpu tofthe engine,
and consequently the vehicle's gradient-
climbing capability, decrease with increas-
ing altitude. Foldin
gout the ball coupling G
WARNING
If the bal lcoupling is not correctly engaged,
the trailer can detach .There is arisk of an
accident.
Always engag ethe bal lcoupling as described. G
WARNING
If you release the bal lcoupling or it does not
engag ecorrectly whe nfolding in, it wil lswing
out. Withi npivoting range of the bal lcoupling,
there is an increased risk of an accident and
injury.
Only release the bal lcoupling if the pivoting
range is unobstructed. Always make sure that the bal lcoupling engages whe nfolding in. Saloon
Before you can tow
atrailer with you rvehicle,
you must fold out the bal lcoupling. 268

! After use, excess tyre sealant may run out
of the filler hose. This could caus estains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
bag which contained the TIREFIT kit. H
Environmental note
Have the used tyre sealant bottle disposed of
professionally, e.g. at aqualified specialist
workshop.
If at yre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has been attained after five minutes:
X Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
X Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the faulty tyre.
X Stow the tyre sealant bottle, the tyre infla-
tion compresso rand the warning triangle.
X Pull away immediately.
X Stop after driving for approximatel yten
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the tyre inflation compressor.
The tyre pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). G
WARNING
If the required tyre pressure is not reached
after driving for ashort period, the tyre is too
badly damaged. The tyre sealant cannot
repair the tyre in this instance. Damage dtyres
and atyre pressure that is too low can signif-
icantly impair the vehicle's braking and driv-
ing characteristics. There is arisk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact aqualified
specialist workshop.
i In yourv
ehicle, you willf indasticker with
the Mercedes-Benz Service24h telephone
number, e.g. on the B-pillar on the driver's
side.
X Correct the tyre pressure if it is still at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). See the fuel filler
flap for values.
X To increase the tyre pressure: switch on
the tyre inflation compressor. X
To reduce the tyre pressure: depress
pressure release button Enext to pres-
sure gauge F.
X When the tyre pressure is correct, unscrew
the filler hose from the valve of the sealed
tyre.
X Screw the valve cap onto the tyre valve of
the sealed tyre.
X Pullt he tyre sealant bottle out of the tyre
inflation compressor.
The filler hose stays on the tyre sealant
bottle.
X Drive to the nearest qualified specialist
workshop and have the tyre changed there.
X Have the tyre sealant bottle replaced as
soon as possible at aqualified specialist
workshop.
X Have the tyre sealant bottle replaced every
four years at aqualified specialist work-
shop. Battery (vehicle)
