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.
:Fording depth
On vehicles with the AIRMATIC package or the
Off-Road Engineering package, loads up to the

Technical data

:;
Off-road level 226°28°
Off-road level 328°29°
For further information about approach/depar-
ture angles, see (Ypage 190).
Maximum gradient-climbing capabil-
ity
Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing capa-
bility depends on the off-road conditions and theroad surface conditions.
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 %.
Accelerate carefully and make sure that the
wheels do not spin when driving on steep ter-
rain.
iIf 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-
nizes this and brakes the wheels accordingly. The rear wheel torque is increased, making it
easier to drive off.
For further information about the maximum gra-
dient climbing ability, see (
Ypage 190).
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.

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.
The maximum permissible trailer drawbar noseweight is the maximum weight with which the trailer
drawbar can be loaded. Limit for Mercedes-Benz-approved trailer couplings.
Ball position of the ball coupling
When choosing a ball coupling, the dimensions stated in the illustration must not be exceeded.
