2019 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER steering

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). *

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
