atrailer
Important safety instructions G
Ris
kofa ccident
When reversing the vehicle towards the
trailer, mak esure 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 maximu mpermissible gross vehicle
weight of both the towing vehicle and the
trailer
You will fin dthe applicable permissible val-
ues, whic hmust not be exceeded ,inthe vehi-
cle documen ts.
You will find the values approved by the man-
ufacturer on the vehicle identification plates
and those for the towing vehicle in the "Tech-
nical data" section. G
Risk of accident
If the Checktrailer hitch locking
mechanism message appears in th emulti-
function display while the vehicle is in motion,
pull over immediately and check whethe rthe
ball coupling is correctly engaged. G
Risk of accident
Always observ ethe maximum speed permit-
ted in Germany for vehicle/ trailer combina-
tions, even in countries where higher speeds
are permitted. This lowers the risk of an acci-
dent. G
Risk of accident
Never depress the brake pedal continuously
while the vehicle is in motion ,e.g. never cause
the brakes to rub by appl yingc onstant slight
pedal pressure. This causes the brake system
to overheat, increases the brakin gdistance
and can lead to the brakes failing completely. G
Risk of accident
On no account should you attempt to draw the
vehicle/trailer combination out by increasing
speed. Trailer towing

Gen
eral information i
When towing atrail er,s et the tyr epres-
sure on th erear axle of the towing vehicle
for am aximum load; se ethe tyr epressure
table in th efuel filler flap.
You will find installatio ndimensions and loads
in the "Technical data” section
(Y page 322).
The maximum permissible trailer drawbar
noseweight on the ball coupling is 75 kg.
However ,the actual noseweight must not
exceed the value given on the trailer tow hitch
and trailer identification plates. The lowest
weight applies.
! Use anoseweight as close as possible to
the maximum permissible noseweight .Do
not use anoseweight of less than 50 kg,
otherwise the trailer ma ycome loose.
Bear in min dthat the payload and the rear
axl eload ar ereduced by the actual nose-
weight.
Please not ethat when towing atrailer, PARK-
TRONIC (Y page 174) and parkin gguidance
(Y page 177 )are onl yavail ablew ith limita-
tions, or not at all.
i The height of the ball coupling changes
with the load of the vehicle. If necessary,
use atrailer wit haheight-adjustable draw-
bar.
Driving tips i
Observ ethe notes on ESP ®
trailer stabi-
lisation (Y page 58).
In Germany, the maximum permissible speed
for vehicle/ trailer combinations depends on
the type of trailer and is either 80 km/ hor
100 km/h. In some countries ,higher maxi-
mum speeds are permissible for vehicle/
trailer combinations. Befor ebeginnin gthe
journey ,check the trailer's documen tsto see
what the maximum permitted speed is.
For certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the max-
imum permissible rear axle load is increased
when towing atrailer. Refer to th e"Technical data
"section to fin dout whether this applies
to your vehicle. If you utilise any of the added
maximum rear axle load when towing atrailer,
th ev ehicle/ trailer combination may not
exceed amaximum spee dof100 km/h for
reasons concerning the operating permit.
This als oapplies in countries in which the
permissible maximum speed for vehicle/
trailer combinations is above 10 0km/h.
When towing atrailer, your vehicle's handling
characteristics wil lbedifferent in comparison
to when drivin gwithout atrailer.
Th ev ehicle/ 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 demand smore sensitive steering
R consume smore fuel
On long and steep downhil lgradients ,you
must shift to alower gear in good time, or on
vehicles with automatic transmission ,select
the shift range 1,2or 3.
i This also applies if you have activated
cruise control, SPEEDTRONIC or DI S-
TRONIC PLUS.
This will use the brakin geffect of th eengine,
so les sbraking wil lberequired to maintain
the speed. This relieves the load on the brake
system and prevent sthe brakes from over-
heating and wearing too quickly .Ifyou need
additional braking, depress the brake pedal
repeatedly rather than con tinuously.
Driving tips R
Maintain agreater distance from th evehi-
cle in front than when driving without a
trailer.
R Avoid braking abruptly. If possible, brake
gently at first to allow the trailer to run on.
Then increase the braking force rapidly.
R The values given for gradient-climbing
capabilities from astandstill refer to sea 188
