Tr
ailer hit ch(examp le with additional 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 toball head 1,
th e maximum load capacity is 75kg.Yo u can
transport up tothre e bicycles. R
When mounted on ball head 1and guide
pin 2, the maximum load capacity is
10 0kg .Yo u can transpo rtup tofour bicy‐
cles.
The maximum load capacity is calculated from
th ewe ight of the bicycle rack and the bicycle
ra ck load.
Obser vethe no tes on driving with a roof load,
trailer or fully laden vehicle (/ page178).
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 389).
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 always 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. 290
