The towing eye (1) consists of a special material with
exceptionally high strength values. For this reason only
genuine towing eyes should be used. For maximum
permissible tractive forces, see chapter "Maximum
permissible tractive forces".
A second towing eye is required if you wish to raise the
vehicle at the front. These can be purchased from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Center, see page 68. You can
tow a fully laden vehicle raised at the front using the
second towing eye.
• Tie up front axle housing on damper holder (2) using
chains or tensioning straps (1).
