ble trailers
Trailers with a steered axle or a "N"sh wheel
cannot be used with Trailer Maneuvering Assist.
Due to this, the trailer cannot be maneuvered
in the desired direction and you can cause a
collision or the trailer can rollover.
Only use Trailer Maneuvering Assist with
trailers with "Nxed drawbars and axles.&WARNING Risk of accidents due to unsuit-
able hitching devices
Trailer hitches without a ball head, such as a Hensley hitch or a pintle hitch, as well as any
hitch adapters or multiple hitch ball mounts, cannot be guided by Trailer Maneuvering
Assist.
This will prevent the trailer from maneuvering
in the desired direction and you may cause a
collision or the trailer may roll over.Use Trailer Maneuvering Assist only with a trailer hitch with a ball head.Use Trailer Maneuvering Assist only witha trailer hitch without additional attach-
ments, such as a weight distribution sys- tem or sway control.Use Trailer Maneuvering Assist only with a trailer with a drawbar that has no addi-
tional attachments or superstructures.Use Trailer Maneuvering Assist only with a hitch ball mount. The use of an addi-
tional hitch adapter or hitch ball mount is
not permitted.&WARNING Danger of accident due to
incorrect taught values for the ball head
position
If a"ser changing the trailer, ball neck or
changing the ball head position the values for
the ball head position are not reset and a cali-
Driving and parking253

bration drive is carried out again, Trailer
Maneuvering Assist will not function properly.
This will prevent the trailer from maneuvering
in the desired direction and you may cause a
collision.A"ser changing the trailer, the ball neck
or the ball head position, do not use
Trailer Maneuvering Assist without carry-
ing out a calibration drive again.A"ser changing the trailer, the ball neck
or the ball head position, reset the
taught-in values.Then, carry out a calibration drive to teach in the values of the new ball head
position.
Information on resetting the taught-in values for
the ball head position and on the calibration drive (  page 260).
*NOTE Damage due to overhanging loads
in front or drawbar installations
The vehicle and the trailer may be damaged
during maneuvering due to overhanging loads
at the front of the trailer or drawbar installa-
tions.
Pay attention to overhanging loads or
drawbar installations while maneuvering.
Trailer Maneuvering Assist will assist you when you are backing up with a trailer. Using the rear-view camera, it monitors the articulation angle
between the vehicle and trailer and adjusts it to a
speci"Ned value. Trailer Maneuvering Assist will
also limit your speed.
For Trailer Maneuvering Assist to function prop-
erly, a calibration drive must be carried out for the
trailer and ball neck used and if the ball head
position is changed. The current ball head posi-
tion will be taught in during the calibration drive
(  page 260).
Trailer Maneuvering Assist is only an aid. It is not a substitute for your attention to the surround-ings. The responsibility for safe maneuvering and
parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the maneu- vering area while you are maneuvering and park-
ing in / exiting parking spaces.
You can either enter the articulation angle value directly via the multimedia system, or use astraightening maneuver or the 90p maneuver. When you carry out a straightening maneuver, thesystem will calculate the articulation angle auto-
matically and align the vehicle/trailer combination
with the trailer\bs current direction.
Observe the notes on trailer operation
(  page 256).
System limits
Observe the system limits of the following func-
tions:
= Active Parking Assist (  page 246)
= 360p camera (  page 236)
= Rear-view camera (  page 235)254Driving and parking

The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
= The gradient is greater than approximately
15%.
= The height of the ball head above level ground
is less than 13.8 in (0.35 m) or more than 21.6 in (0.55 m)

q Using Trailer Maneuvering Assist
Requirements = The vehicle has been started and is stationary.
= A trailer has been detected.
= A calibration drive was performed with the ball
neck used and the current ball head position
(  page 260).
= The gradient is less than approximately 15 %.
= The tailgate is closed.
= The electric parking brake is not applied.
= The driver\bs seat belt is fastened.
Using Trailer Maneuvering Assist\bTo ensure that Trailer Maneuvering Assist
works properly, the taught-in values for eachball head position must be reset a"ser the ball
neck and ball head position have been
changed. A calibration drive must then be per-
formed again. Information on resetting and
the calibration drive (  page 260).Engage reverse gear ^.Press button 1.
The camera image is shown in the central dis-
play.\bThe picture is an example only and is shown without trailer.
You can select various maneuvers in the TrailerManeuvering Assist menu. The maneuver available
depend on the current articulation angle and
length of the trailer.
To adjust the articulation angle: select 3. In
the central display, swipe the entire area of
the camera image to the le"s or right to change
the bend angle.Driving and parking255

orTo activate the straightening maneuver: select
1 .
The system calculates the articulation angle in
such a way that the direction of the trailer at
the time of activation is maintained. There is a
short countersteering movement of the trailer
while the vehicle is backing up, which then
guides it back to the desired line. In this way, the vehicle is aligned straight with the trailer
and, at the same time, the direction of the
trailer is maintained.
or
To activate the 90p maneuver:
= Align the vehicle in the same direction
(line) as the trailer.
= Select (le"s or right) 2.
The system calculates the articulation angle so that the trailer can be maneuvered into a
space perpendicular to the vehicle using the smallest possible angle. A"ser the maneuver,
the vehicle is aligned again in the direction of
the trailer.Accelerate and brake as required.\bThe maximum articulation angle depends on
the length of the trailer. This is calculated by
the system by driving the vehicle forwards,
including cornering. Before the length of the
trailer has been calculated, the maximum articulation angle is approximately 23p. The
longer the trailer is, the higher the maximum articulation angle (max. approximately 60p).\bPay attention to your surroundings and beready to brake at all times.

Notes on trailer operation
*NOTE Mercedes-AMG vehiclesObserve the notes in the Supplement.
You could otherwise fail to recognize
dangers.&WARNING Risk of accident due to unsuita-
ble ball neck
If you install an unsuitable ball neck, the trailer
hitch and the rear axle may be overloaded.
This can signi"Ncantly impair the driving char-
acteristics and the trailer may become loose.
There is a risk of fatal injury.Only install a ball neck that complies
with the permissible dimensions and is
designed for the requirements of trailer
operation.Do not modify the ball neck or the trailer
hitch.
The values approved by the manufacturer can be
found on the identi"Ncation plates and in the "Tech-
nical data" section under "Trailer hitch" for the
towing vehicle (  page 399).
&WARNING Risk of accident due to vehi-
cle/trailer combination swerving
If you drive too fast in trailer operation, the
vehicle/trailer combination may start to
swerve.
This could cause you to lose control of the
vehicle/trailer combination. The vehicle/ trailer combination may even rollover.
256Driving and parking

Under no circumstances should you try
to straighten the vehicle/trailer combi-
nation by increasing your speed.Reduce the speed and do not counter- steer.Brake if necessary.*NOTE Damage to the engine resulting
from overheatingIf you subsequently have a trailer cou-
pling retro"Ntted, depending on the vehi-
cle type, changes to the engine cooling
system may be required.
In the case of retro"Ntting a trailer coupling,
please observe the attachment points on the vehicle frame.
Retro"Ntting a trailer hitch is permissible only if a
trailer load is speci"Ned in your vehicle documents.
If this is not the case, the vehicle is not approved for trailer operation.
Further information can be obtained at a quali"Ned
specialist workshop.
For a detachable trailer coupling, it is essential to
comply with the operating instructions of the trailer coupling manufacturer.
Couple and uncouple the trailer carefully. If you
do not connect the trailer to the towing vehicle
correctly, the trailer may become detached.
Observe the following notes on the tongue weight:
= Do not use a tongue weight that exceeds or
falls below the permissible tongue weight
= Use a tongue weight as close as possible to
the maximum tongue weight
Do not exceed the following values:
= Permissible towing capacity
= Permissible rear axle load of the towing vehi-
cle
= Permissible gross weight of the towing vehicle
= Permissible gross weight of the trailer
= Maximum permissible speed of the trailer
Ensure the following before starting a journey: = The tire pressure on the rear axle of the tow-
ing vehicle is set for a maximum load= The lighting of the connected trailer is opera-
tional
In the event of increased rear axle load, the car/ trailer combination must not exceed a maximum speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) for reasons con-
cerning the operating permit. This also applies in
countries in which the permissible maximum
speed for car/trailer combinations is above
62 mph (100 km/h).
Vehicles with AIRMATIC or E-ACTIVE BODY CON-
TROL: if the socket of the trailer hitch is occupied,
e.g. by a trailer or rear bicycle rack, the vehicle is set to the normal level at speeds greater than
19 mph (30 km/h). This is done regardless of
which drive program has been selected.
Attaching the ball neck
&WARNING Risk of accident and injury due
to incorrectly installed ball neck
If the ball neck is not properly mounted and
secured, it may come loose along with the
trailer while the vehicle is in motion and
