Technical data
Only retrofit a trailer tow hitch if it is permis‐
sible.
Observe the notes on trailer operation
( page 169).

It is only permissible to retrofit a trailer hitch if a
towing capacity has been entered in the vehicle
registration documents.
You can obtain further information on the trailer
hitch at a qualified specialist workshop or on the
Internet at https://bb-portal.mercedes-
benz.com/portal/kat_iv.html?&L.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have a
trailer hitch retrofitted at a Mercedes-Benz
service centre.
Only use a trailer hitch which has been tested
and specially approved by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle.
The maximum permissible towing capacity for
trailers without a separate braking system is
750 kg.
Trailer loads
When towing a trailer, the maximum permissible
gross vehicle weight is increased by 100 kg for
vehicles with passenger vehicle approval. The
maximum permissible rear axle load must be
observed. The road speed of the vehicle must be
limited to a maximum of 100 km/h, in accord‐
ance with Directive 92/21/EEC.

Lashing points and carrier systems

Information about the lashing points
* NOTE Risk of accident if the maximum
loading capacity of the lashing points is
exceeded
If you combine various lashing points to
secure a load, you must always take the maxi‐
mum loading capacity of the weakest lashing
point into account.
During a full brake application, forces may act
which can multiply the weight of the load.
Always use several lashing points to dis‐
#
tribute and spread the load. Distribute
the load on the lashing points evenly.
Further information on the lashing points and tie-
down eyes can be obtained in the "Transporting"
chapter ( page 264).
