R
Ifth e trailer has electronically cont rolled
brakes, pull away carefully wi th theve hicle/
trailer combination. Brake manually using the
brake controller and check whe ther the
brakes are functioning cor rectly.
R Secu rethe load on the trailer in line with the
re qu irements and rules for load-securing
me thods.
R When driving with a trailer, check at regular
inter vals that the load is secure and that the
lights and brakes are functioning cor rectl y.
R Bear in mind that the handling characteristics
are more uns table when towing a trailer than
when driving without a trailer. Avoid sudden
st eering mo vements.
R The vehicle/trailer combination is heavier,
accelerates more slowl y,has a reduced
climbing ability and an increased braking dis‐
ta nce. It is more susceptible toside winds
and requ ires careful steering.
R If possible, do not brake suddenl y,but rath er
moderately at firs t so that the trailer can acti‐
va te its brakes. Then inc rease the pressure on
th e brake pedal.
R Ifth e automatic transmission shifts between
ge ars on uphill or downhill gradients, restrict
th e shift range. Select shi ftrange 4, 3, 2 or 1.
A lo werge ar and reduced speed decrease the
ri sk of engine damage.
R When driving on a downhill gradient, shift to a
lo we rge ar to use the engine's braking ef fect.
Av oid cons tant braking, as this could cause
th eve hicle brakes and possibly also the
trailer brakes toove rheat.
R Ifth e coolant temp erature increases signifi‐
cantly when the air-conditioning sy stem is
switched on, switch the air-conditioning sys‐
te m off.
Coolant heat can also be dissipated by
switching the air flow and thete mp erature of
th e heater or air conditioning tothe maximum
le ve l. Open the windo wsif necessar y.
R When overtaking, pay particular attention to
th e increased overtaking di stance of your
ve hicle/trailer combination.
Due tothe length of your vehicle/trailer com‐
bination you will requ ire a longer stre tch of
ro ad before swit ching back tothe original

WARNING Risk of accident due to
unbraked trailer with excessively high
gross weight
If yo uto w a trailer without a separate func‐
tional braking sy stem and a gross trailer
we ight (G TW) of more than 1635 lbs (750 kg),
th en theve hicle brake sy stem may overheat.
This increases the braking dis tance and the
brake sy stem may evenfa il. #
Always use a trailer with a separate
functional braking sy stem when towing
a trailer with a gross trailerweight
(G TW ) of more than 1635 lbs (750 kg). *
NO
TEDama getothe drive train, trans‐
mission or trailer tow hit chdue toexc ess
gross combination weight The permissible
gross combinationweight is
exc eeded.
The drive train, the transmission or the trailer
to w hit chmay be dama ged. #
Comply with the permissible gross com‐
bination weight. Fo
rve hicles with a permissible gross vehicle
we ight of 11030 lbs (5003 kg),th e permissible
gross combination weight is less than the sum of
th e permissible gross vehicle weight plus the per‐
missible trailer load. If either theve hicle or the
trailer is fully laden, the permitted gross vehicle
we ight or the permitted trailer load values are
re duced accordingly. In this case, you may on ly
partially load the trailer or theve hicle.
The gross trailer weight (G TW) is calculated by
adding thewe ight of the trailer tothewe ight of
th e load and equipment. If the trailer is equipped
with a separate braking sy stem, then the maxi‐
mum gross trailer weight is 5000 lbs (2268 kg) or
75 00 lbs (3402 kg).
The maximum permissible trailer dr awbar nose‐
we ight on the ball head is 500 lbs (227 kg) or
75 0 lbs (340 kg). Ho wever,th e actual trailer
dr aw bar nose weight must not exceed theva lue
given on the trailer tow hit chor trailer identifica‐
tion plates. Where theva lues dif fer, th e lo west
va lue alw ays applies. Driving and parking

The permissible gross
weight forve hicle-trailer
combinations (GCWR) is calculated byadding the
gross weight of the trailer tothe gross vehicle
we ight including a driver's weight of appr ox‐
imately 150 lbs (68 kg). The maximum permissi‐
ble gross combination weight is vehicle-specific
and equipment-dependent. When driving with a
trailer, you should not exceed the maximum per‐
mitted permissible gross weight forve hicle-trailer
combinations (GCWR).
The permissible values, which must not be excee‐
ded, can be found in your vehicle documents and
on the identification plates of the trailer tow
hitch, the trailer and theve hicle. The values
appr ovedby the manufacturer can also be found
in the "Technical data" section. Where theva lues
dif fer, th e lo west value alw ays applies.
Loading the trailer
Use a dr awbar nose weight that is as close as
possible tothe maximum permissible nose‐
we ight. Do not undershoot the minimum permis‐
sible nose weight. Otherwise, the trailer may
become de tach ed.
R Distribute the load over theve hicle and the
trailer so as not toexceed either the maxi‐
mum permissible values forth e gross vehicle
we ight rating (GVWR) and gross trailer weight
(G TW ),th e permissible gross weight forve hi‐
cle-trailer combinations (GCWR), nor the max‐
imum permissible gross axle weight rating
(GAWR) and trailer dr awbar nose weight (TWR)
of your vehicle.
R Addth ere ar axle load tothe trailer dr awbar
nose weight of the trailer dr awbar on the ball
head (TWR). This will ensure that you do not
ex ceed the permissible gross axle weight rat‐
ing (G AWR).
R Addth eve hicle load tothe trailer dr awbar
nose weight of the trailer dr awbar on the ball
head (TWR). This will ensure that you do not
ex ceed the permissible gross vehicle weight
ra ting (GVWR).
Che cking theve hicle and trailer weight
R Make sure that thewe ights of theto wing
ve hicle and the trailer comply with the maxi‐
mum permissible values. Ha vethe car/t railer
combination weighed on a calibrated weigh‐
ing machine. The car/trailer combination
comprises theto wing vehicle including driver,
passengers and load as well as the laden
trailer. R
Check the maximum permissible gross axle
we ight rating of the front and rear axles
(GAWR), the gross trailer weight (G TW),the
permissible gross weight forve hicle-trailer
combinations (GCWR) and the trailer dr awbar
nose weight rating (TWR). Tr
ailer po wer supply Incor
rect cabling of the connector plug may inter‐
fe re with other electronic sy stems in theve hicle.
Mercedes-Benz therefore recommends that you
ha ve the cabling of the connector plug car ried
out at a qualified specialist workshop.
Yo u can connect accesso ries up toa maximum of
24 0 W tothe permanent po wer supply. Do not
ch arge a trailer battery using the po wer supp ly.
Yo ur vehicle may be equipped with a range of
electrical equipment for trailer operation.
Depending on your trailer, you may need an
adap terfo rth e electrical connection between the
trailer and your vehicle.
The trailer soc ket of your vehicle is equipped with
a permanent po wer supp lyat thefa ctor y.
The permanent po wer supp lyis supplied via
trailer soc ket pin 4.
No tethat the trailer's permanent po wer supp lyis
not switched off when theve hicle's on-board
electrical sy stem voltage is lo w.This could com‐
ple tely dischar geyour vehicle's star ter batter y.
Fu rther information on the electrical equipment
cur rently ins talled on your vehicle, and on ins tal‐
ling trailer elect rics, can be obtained at any quali‐
fi ed specialist workshop. 16 2
