When mounted on the ball head 1and the
guide pin 2,the maximum load capacity is
10 0kg .Up tofour bic ycles can be transpor‐
te d.
The load capacity is calculated from thewe ight
of the bicycle rack and the bicycle rack load.
The vehicle's driving characteristics will change
when a bicycle rack isfitted. Adapt your driving
st yle accordingly. Drive carefully and maintain a
safe dis tance.
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 492).
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
Alw ays 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. Load distribution on

WARNING Risk of an accident when
using high-pressure cleane rswith circu‐
lar jet nozzles
The wate r jet of a circular jet nozzle (dirt
grinder) can cause extern ally invisible dam‐
age tothe tyres or chassis parts.
Components damaged in this wa y may unex‐
pec tedly fail. #
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with
circular jet nozzles toclean theve hicle. #
Have damaged tyres or chassis parts
re placed immediatel y. To
avo id damage to yourvehicle, obser vethefo l‐
lowing when using a high-pressure cleaner:
R keep theke y at least 3 m away from theve hi‐
cle. Otherwise theta ilgate could open unin‐
te ntional ly.
R maintain a dis tance of at least 30 cm tothe
ve hicle. R
vehicles with deco rative foil: parts of your
ve hicle are co vered with a decorative foil.
Maintain a dis tance of at least 70 cm
between thefo il-c ove red parts of theve hicle
and the nozzle of the high-pressure cleaner.
Mo vethe high-pressure cleaner nozzle
around whilst cleaning. The waterte mp era‐
ture of the high-pressure cleaner must not
exc eed 60 °C.
R obser vethe information on the cor rect dis‐
ta nce in the equipment manufacturer's oper‐
ating instructions.
R do not point the nozzle of the high-pressure
cleaner directly at sensitive parts such as
tyres, slits, electrical components, bat teries,
light bulbs and ventilation sl ots. Wa
