!
Only the washer fluids SummerFit and
WinterFit can be mixed. Otherwise, the
spraying nozzles could become blocked.
Comply with the important safety notes for
service products when handling washer fluid
(Y page 480).
At temperatures above freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture
of water and washer fluid, e.g. MB Sum-
merFit.
Mix 1 part MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture
of water and washer fluid, e.g. MB Winter-
Fit.
For the correct mixing ratio refer to the
information on the antifreeze reservoir.
i Add washer fluid concentrate, e.g. MB
SummerFit or MB WinterFit, to the washer
fluid all year round. Vehicle data
General notes
Please note that for the specified vehicle
data: R the heights specified may vary as a result
of:
- tyres
- load
- condition of the suspension
- optional equipment

R Vehicle-specific weight information can be
found on the vehicle identification plate
(Y page 480).

Maximum water depth
! The water depth must not exceed the
specified value. Note that the permissible
water depth is less in flowing water. Maximum water depth
:is 30 cm when
ready to drive.
Loaded and ready to drive means: a full tank, all fluids topped up and the driver is in the
vehicle.

roads (Y page 226). Approach/departure angle

when ready to drive:

Loaded and ready to drive means: a full tank,

On vehicles with AIR BODY CONTROL loads
up to the maximum permissible load have no
influence on approach and departure angles.
For further information about approach/
departure angles, see (Y page 229). Maximum gradient-climbing capabil-
ity
Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing
capability depends on the off-road conditions and the road surface conditions.
All vehicles (except AMG vehicles): the
maximum gradient climbing ability is 70%.
Carefully depress the accelerator pedal and
make sure that the wheels do not spin when
driving on steep terrain.
If the load on the front axle is reduced when
pulling away on a steep uphill slope, the front
wheels have a tendency to spin. 4ETS recog- nises this and brakes the wheels accordingly. The rear wheel torque is increased and it is
easier to pull away. Vehicle data for off-road driving

For further information about the maximum
gradient climbing ability, see (Y page 230).Trailer tow hitch
Mounting dimensions
! If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
changes to the engine cooling system may
be necessary, depending on the vehicle
type.
If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
observe the anchorage points on the chas- sis.
The retrofitting of a trailer tow hitch is only
permissible if a towing weight is specified in
your vehicle documents. If this is not the case,
then the vehicle is not approved for the tow-
ing of a trailer.
For more information, please contact a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
Towing a trailer is not possible with all mod-
els. For further information, see (Y page 490).:

!
Use a drawbar noseweight as close as possible to the maximum permissible noseweight.
Do not use a noseweight of less than 50kg, otherwise the trailer may come loose. Trailer tow hitch

Note that the payload and the rear axle load are reduced by the actual payload.
The drawbar noseweight is not included in the trailer load.

However, the actual noseweight must not exceed the value given on the trailer tow hitch
identification plate. In addition, a distinction should be made between towing a trailer and
using a carrier system on the ball coupling of the trailer tow hitch.
Note also that the payload and the rear axle load are reduced by the actual noseweight.
You can attach carrier systems, e.g. bicycle racks or load-bearing implements, on the ball
coupling. The maximum noseweight of 75 kg applies when using carrier systems on the ball
coupling. Permissible rear axle load when towing a trailer
