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.
All vehicles (except GLA 220 (156.945),
Mercedes-AMG vehicles and vehicles with
4MATIC): maximum gradient climbing ability is
40 %.
Vehicles with 4MATIC: the maximum gradient
climbing ability is 65%.
Missing values for the GLA 220 (156.945) and
Mercedes‑AMG GLA 45 4MATIC models were
unavailable at time of going to print.
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 recogni-
ses this and brakes the wheels accordingly. The
rear wheel torque is increased and it is easier to
pull away.

climbing ability (
