For further information about approach/depar-
ture angles, see (Y
page 168). 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.
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.
i 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 recog-
nizes this and brakes the wheels accordingly. The rear wheel torque is increased, making it
easier to drive off. Vehicle data for off-road driving

dient climbing ability, see (Y page 168).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. 0043

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 nose-
weight is the maximum weight with which the
trailer drawbar can be loaded. Limit for
Mercedes-Benz-approved trailer couplings.
