TEDama geand risk of accident when
to wing with a tow rope There is a
risk of an accident if you do not
obse rve saf ety and pr otective measures when
to wing using a tow rope.
Obser vethefo llowing points when towing
with a tow rope: #
Secure theto w rope on the same side
on bo thvehicles, if possible. #
Make sure theto w rope does not
exc eed the legally prescribed length. #
Mark theto w rope in the middle, e.g.
with a white clo th(30 x 30 cm). This
makes other road users aware that a
ve hicle is being towe d. #
Obser vethe brake lamps of theto wing
ve hicle while driving. Alw ays maintain a
dis tance that ensures theto w rope does
not sag. #
Do not use steel cables or chains to tow
yo ur vehicle. Otherwise, you could dam‐
age theve hicle. #
Deactivate automatic locking (/ page 45).#
Do not activate the HOLD function. #
Deactivate theto w- aw ay alarm (/ page57). #
Deacti vate Active Brake Assi st (/ page 141). #
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
shift the automatic transmission toposition
005C. #
Release the parking brake. &
WARNING Risk of accident due tolimi‐
te d saf ety-re lated functions during the
to wing process
Saf ety-re lated functions are limited or no lon‐
ge rav ailable in thefo llowing situations:
R the ignition is switched off.
R the brake sy stem or po werst eering sys‐
te m is malfunctioning. R
the energy supply or the on-board electri‐
cal sy stem is malfunctioning.
When your vehicle is then towe daw ay, signifi‐
cantly more ef fort may be requ ired tosteer
and brake than is normally required. #
Use a tow bar. #
Make sure that thesteering wheel can
mo vefreely, before towing theve hicle
aw ay. *

yo u pull away sharpl y,the tractive po wer
may be too high and theve hicles could be

NO
TEDama gewhen the ignition is
switched on If
yo u lea vethe ignition switched on when
to wing theve hicle with the front or rear axle
ra ised, ESP ®
actuation can damage the brake

TEDama gedue toincor rect remo val
or ins tallation of the propeller shafts When ins
talling the propeller shafts, they can
be damaged if you do not use new sc rews.
Alw ays use new scr ews when ins talling the
propeller shafts.
Only ha vethe propeller shafts ins talled or
re mo vedby qualified, skilled personnel. %
If
th e front axle is damaged, raise theve hicle
at the front axle and if there ar axle is dam‐
aged, raise theve hicle at there ar axle.
% Ve
hicles with automatic transmission
and rear wheel drive: ifth ere is a malfunc‐
tion, the automatic transmission may be
loc ked in position 005D.
If th e automatic transmission cann otbe shif‐
te dto position 005C, transport theve hicle
(/ page 227). A towing vehicle with lifting
equipment is requ ired forve hicle transport. 226
Breakdown assis tance

Ra
ting. You can find the Gross Axle Weight Rating
on the B-pillar on the driver's side.
Speed rating: the speed rating is pa rtof the tire
identification. It specifies the speed range for
which a tire is appr oved.
GV W (Gross Vehicle Weight): the Gross Vehicle
We ight includes thewe ight of theve hicle includ‐
ing fuel, tools, the spare wheel, accessories
ins talled, occupants, luggage and the trailer
dr aw bar nose weight if applicable. The Gross Vehi‐
cle Weight must ne verex ceed the Gross Vehicle
We ight Rating (GVWR) specified on the B-pillar on
th e driver's side.
GV WR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): the
GV WR is the maximum permitted gross weight of
th e fully laden vehicle (weight of theve hicle
including all accessories, occupants, fuel, lug‐
ga ge and the trailer dr awbar nose weight if appli‐
cable). The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is speci‐
fi ed on theve hicle identification plate on the B-
pillar on the driver's side.
Maximum weight of the laden vehicle: the
maximum weight is the sum of theve hicle's curb
we ight, weight of the accessories, maximum load
and thewe ight of thefa ctory ins talled optional
equipment.
Kilopascal (kPa): metric unitfor tire pressu re.
6.9 kPa are the equivalent of 1 psi. Ano ther unit
fo r tire pressu reis bar. 100 kilopascals (kPa) are
th e equivalent of 1 bar.
Load index: in additiontothe load-bearing index,
th e load index may also be imprinted on the side‐
wa ll of the tire. This specifies the load-bearing
capacity more precisel y.
Curb weight: thewe ight of a vehicle with stand‐
ard equipment including the maximum capacity
of fuel, oil and coolant. It also includes the air-
conditioning sy stem and optional equipment if
th ese are ins talled on theve hicle, but does not
include passengers or luggage.
Maximum tire load: the maximum tire load is
th e maximum permissible weight in kilog rams or
lbs for which a tire is appro ved.
Maximum permissible tire pressure: maximum
permissible tire pressure for one tire.
Maximum load on one tire: maximum load on
one tire. This is calculated bydividing the maxi‐
mum axle load for one axle bytwo.
PSI (pounds per square in ch):standard unit of
measurement for tire pressu re. Aspect
ratio: relationship between tire height
and tire width in percent.
Ti re pressure: pressure inside the tire applying
an outward forc eto eve rysquare inch of the
tire's su rface. The tire pressure is specified in
pounds per square inch (psi), in kilopascal (kPa)
or in bar. The tire pressure should only be cor rec‐
te d when the tires are cold.
Ti re pressure on cold tires: the tires are cold
when theve hicle has been par ked with the tires
out of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours and
th eve hicle has been driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km).
Ti re contact sur face: the part of the tire that
comes into con tact wi th thero ad.
Ti re bead: the purpose of the tire bead is to
ensure that the tire sits securely on the wheel
ri m. There are se veral wire cores in the tire bead
to preve ntthe tire from changing length on the
wheel rim.
Side wall:the part of the tire between the tread
and the tire bead.
Special equipment weight: the combined
we ight of those optional extras that we igh more
th an there placed standard parts and more than
5 lbs (2.3 kg). These op tionalextras, su chas
high-pe rformance brakes, le vel control sy stem, a
ro of luggage rack or a high-per form ance batter y,
are not included in the curb weight and the
we ight of the accessories.
TIN (Tire Identification Number): a unique iden‐
tification number which can be used bya tire
manufacturer toidentify tires, forex ample for a
product recall, and thus identify the pur chasers.
The TIN is made up of the manufacturer identifi‐
cation code, tire size, tire type code and the man‐
ufacturing date.
Load-bearing index: the load-bearing index (also
load index) is a code that con tains the maximum
load-bearing capacity of a tire.
Tr action: traction is there sult of friction between
th e tires and thero ad sur face.
We ar indicator: narrow bars (tread wear bars)
th at are distributed overth e tire tread. If the tire
tread is le vel with the bars, thewe ar limit of
1/ 16 in (1.6 mm) has been reached.
Distribution of vehicle occupants: distribution
of vehicle occupants over designated seat posi‐
tions in a vehicle. Wheels and tires

TERisk of accident if the maximum
loading capacity of the cargo tie-down
point is exceeded If
yo u combine various cargo tie-down points
to secure a load, alw aysta ke the maximum
loading capacity of thewe akest cargo tie-
down point into account.
During maximum full- stop braking, forc es may
act which can multiply thewe ight of the load. #
Always use se veral cargo tie-down
points todistribute and spread the load.
Distribute the load on the cargo tie-
down points evenly. Fu
rther information on the cargo tie-down points
and tie-down eyes can be obtained in the "T rans‐
porting" section (/ page 196).
