Yo u should bear thefo llowing in mind:
R Do not exceed the permissible roof load and
to wing capacity. Also obser vethete ch nical
data in the printed Owner's Manual.
R Evenly distribute thero of load, and place
heavy objects at the bottom. Also comply with

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
th at of other road users:
R always adhere tothe permissible load
capacity of the trailer hitch. R
always obser vethe permissible rear axle
load of theto wing vehicle.
R use the bicycle rack only totransport bicy-

the bicycle rack 's design, up to
th re e bicycles can be transpor ted on the bicycle
ra ck.
When mounted byattaching toball head 1,the
maximum load capacity is 75 kg. The maximum load capacity is calculated from
the
we ight of the bicycle rack and the bicycle rack
load.
Obser vethe no tes on driving with a roof load,
trailer or fully laden vehicle (/ page 171).
When using a bicycle rack , set the tyre pressure

Therefore, obser vethefo llowing no tes:
R mount heavy bicycles as close totheve hicle
as possible
R always distribute the load on the bicycle rack
as evenly as possible across theve hicle's lon-
gitudinal axis
Mercedes-Benz recommends removing all de tach-
able parts from bicycles (e.g. bask ets, ch ild seats,
re ch arge able batteries) before loading them onto
th e bicycle rack . This will impr ovethe aerody- namic
resis tance and centre of grav ity of the bicy-
cle 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 driving
ch aracteristics and rear view may be impaired. In
addition, aerodynamic resis tance and the load on
th e trailer hitch will increase. Load distribution on

r saf etyre asons, only use tyres, wheels and
accessories which ha vebeen specially
appr oved byMercedes-Benz foryo ur vehicle.
These tyres are special lyadap tedto the active
saf ety sy stems, su chas ABS, ESP ®
and
4MATIC, and mar ked as follo ws:
R MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Ex tended
(run-0at tyres only for cer tain wheels)
R MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
ta in AMG tyres)
Otherwise, cer tain properties, such as han-
dling characteristics, vehicle noise emissions,
consu mption, etc. could be adversely a.ec-
te d. Furthermore, other tyre sizes could result
in the tyres rubbing against the body and axle
components when loaded. This could result in
damage tothe tyre or theve hicle. Only use tyres, wheels and accessories
that
ha ve been checked and recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. *

TE Risk todriving saf ety from retrea-

Do not drive with tyres that ha vetoo little tread
