R Do not use a tongue weight that exceeds or
fa lls below the permissible tongue weight
R Use a tongue weight as close as possible to
th e maximum tongue weight
Do not exceed thefo llowing values:
R Perm issible towing capacity
R Perm issible rear axle load of theto wing vehi‐

R Perm issible grossweight of the trailer
R Maximum permissible speed of the trailer Ensure
thefo llowing before starting a journey:
R The tyre pressure on there ar axle of theto w‐
ing vehicle is set for a maximum load
R The lighting of the connected trailer is opera‐
tional
R Vehicles without LED headlamps or MUL‐
TIBEAM LED headlamps: the headlamps

In theeve nt of increased rear axle load, the car/
trailer combination must not exceed a maximum
speed of 100 km/h forre asons concerning the
operating permit. This also applies in countri es
in which the permissible maximum speed for
car/trailer combinations is ab ove100 km/h. Extending or

WARNING Risk of an accident when
using the bicycle rack incor rectly
The bicycle rack may become de tach ed from
th eve hicle in thefo llowing cases:
R the permissible load capacity of the
trailer hitch is exceeded.
R the bicycle rack is used incor rectl y.
R the bicycle rack is secured tothe ball
neck beneath the ball head.
Obser vethefo llowing foryo ur ow n sa fety
and that of other road users:
R always adhere tothe permissible load
capacity of the trailer hitch.
R only use the bicycle rack totranspo rt
bicycles.
R always mount the bicycle rack properly by
attaching tothe ball head and the ball
neck guide pin, if possible. R
when transporting four bic ycles, alw ays
use bic ycle rack s which ha veadditional
suppo rton the ball neck guide pin.

Depending on the bicycle rack 's design, dif fere nt
numbe rsof bicycles can be transpor ted.
The following bicycle rack designs are possible:
R When mounted byattaching tothe ball head
1, the maximum load capacity is 75kg.Up
to thre e bicycles can be transpor ted. 254
Driving and parking

R
When mounted on the ball head 1and the
guide pin 2,the maximum load capacity is
10 0kg .Up tofour bic ycles can be transpor‐
te d.
The load capacity is calculated from thewe ight
of the bicycle rack and the bicycle rack load.
The vehicle's driving characteristics will change
when a bicycle rack isfitted. Adapt your driving
st yle accordingly. Drive carefully and maintain a
safe dis tance.
When using a bicycle rack , set the tyre pressure
fo r increased load on there ar axle of theve hicle.
Fu rther information on the tyre pressure can be
fo und in the tyre pressure table (/ page 347).
Note s on loading
The larger the dis tance between the load's
cent reof gr avity and the ball head, the greater
th e load on the trailer hitch.
Obser vethefo llowing no tes:
R Mount heavy bicycles as close totheve hicle
as possible. R
Alw ays distribute the load on the bicycle rack
as eve nly as possible across theve hicle's
longitudinal axis.
Mercedes-Benz recommends removing all
de tach able parts from bicycles (e.g. bask ets,
ch ild seats, rech arge able bat teries) before load‐
ing them onto the bicycle rack . This will impr ove
th e aerodynamic resis tance and centre of gr avity
of the bicycle rack.
Alw ays secure the bicycles toprev ent them from
moving around and check them at regular inter‐
va ls to ensure that they are secure.
Do not use tarp aulins or other co vers. The driv‐
ing characteristics and rear view may be
impaired. In addition, aerodynamic resis tance
and the load on the trailer hitch will increase. Load distribution on
the bicycle rack
1 Vertical dis tance between centre of gr avity
and ball head
2 Horizon tal dis tance between centre of gr av‐
ity and ball head
3 The centre of gr avity is on theve hicle's
centre axis

Do not drive wi thtyres that ha vetoo little tread

ro ads (aquaplaning).
On vehicles with the same front and rear wheel
size, you can inter change the wheels every
5000 to10,000 km, depending on thewe ar.
Ensure the direction of rotation is maintained for
th e wheels.
