Vehicle data for off-road driving
Fording depth
! The depth of water must not exceed the
value specified in the table. Note that the
possible fording depth is less in flowing water. The table shows fording depth
:when the
vehicle is loaded and ready to drive.
Loaded and ready to drive means: a full tank, all fluids topped up and the driver is in the vehicle.
On vehicles with the AIRMATIC package or the
Off-Road Engineering package, loads up to the
maximum permissible load have no influence on fording capability.

The table shows approach and departure
angles :and ;when the vehicle is loaded and
ready to drive.
For vehicles with steel springs, loaded and ready
to drive means: a full tank, all fluids topped up
and the driver is in the vehicle.
On vehicles with the AIRMATIC package or the

maximum permissible load have no influence on approach and departure angles.

For further information about approach/depar-

page 202). Maximum gradient-climbing capabil-
ity
Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing capa-
bility depends on the off-road conditions and the road surface conditions. Vehicle data for off-road driving
445Technical data Z

Vehicles with the Off-Road Engineering
package: the maximum gradient climbing abil-
ity is 100 %when the LOW RANGE off-road gear
is selected.
Mercedes-AMG vehicles: the maximum gradi-
ent climbing ability is 80 %.
Vehicles without the Off-Road Engineering
package: the maximum gradient climbing abil-
ity is 80 %.
GLE 550 e 4MATIC: the maximum gradient
climbing ability is 50 %.
Carefully depress the accelerator pedal and
make sure that the wheels do not spin when
driving on steep terrain.
i 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.
For further information about maximum gradi-
ent-climbing capability, see (Y page 202).Trailer tow hitch
Mounting dimensions
! If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
changes to the cooling system and drive train may be necessary, depending on the vehicle
type.
If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
observe the anchorage points on the chassis
frame. :

; Overhang dimension
= Rear axle centre line
For trailer tow hitches fitted at the factory, the
overhang dimension including protective cover- ing is 1122 mm. 446

Trailer loads
! 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.
Note that the payload and the rear axle load are reduced by the actual payload.

The actual noseweight may not be higher than the value which is given. The value can be found on
the trailer tow hitch or trailer identification plates. The lowest weight applies.
You can attach carrier systems, e.g. bicycle racks or load-bearing implements, to the ball coupling.
The maximum payload of 75 kg applies when using carrier systems on the ball coupling. 448
