carefully. #
Do not switch off ESP ®
. #
Snow chains must not be ins talled on
th e emer gency spa rewheel. #
Replace the emer gency spa rewheel
af te r a maximum of six years, rega rd‐
less of wear. R
When using an emer gency spa rewheel
(which is dif fere nt from the wheel tobe
re placed) a top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h)
must not be exceeded.
R The tire pressure of the emer gency spa re
wheel must be checked before starting a jour‐
ney (/ page314).
R Have the emer gency spa rewheel replaced by
a qu alified specialist workshop. &
WARNING Risk of accident from dam‐
aged spa rewheel with Super Sin gle tires
Ve hicles with Super Single tires
The tire of the spare wheel exposed toabo ve-
ave rage loads af ter being ins talled on there ar
axle. If youexc eed the maximum speed or the
maximum dis tance, or ins tallth e spare wheel
again, the tire of the spare wheel may be
damaged. The tire damage may not be visible
and not de tectable.
A damaged tire may cause a loss of tire pres‐
sure. This could cause youto lose control of
th eve hicle. #
Only use the spare wheel if it has not
ye t been ins talled on there ar axle with
th e cur rent tires. #
Ifth e spare wheel had been ins talled on
th ere ar axle, ha vethe tire of the spare
wheel replaced af terch anging the
wheel again, ir respective of the dis‐
ta nce. #
For saf etyre asons, when changing a tire
ensure that only the tire valve type
appr ovedfo rth e tires is used. *
NO
TEDama getothe transmission Ve
hicles with Super Single tires: whenyou
ins tallth e spare wheel on there ar axle, the
transmission may be dama gedby the dif fer‐
ent rotational speeds of the wheels. #
When the spare wheel is ins talled on
th ere ar axle, obse rveth e maximum
speed of 34 mph (55 km/h) and the
maximum driving dis tance of 62 miles
(100 km). %
It is possible, wi
thout restrictions, touse the
spare wheel only on the front axle of a vehi‐
cle with Super Single tires.
The following should be checkedre gular ly, partic‐
ularly prior tolong journe ys:
R The secure positioning of the spare wheel
R The tire pressure of the spare wheel (adjust
th e tire pressure if necessary) (/ page311)
R The fastenings of the spare wheel brac ket
Re place the tires af ter six years at the latest,
re ga rdless of wear. This also applies tothe spare
wheel.
% If
yo u ha veinstalled an emer gency spa re
wheel or spare wheel, the tire pressure moni‐
to r will not function forth is wheel. The emer‐
ge ncy spa rewheel or spare wheel is not
equipped with a sensor for monitoring tire

4)
Only NAFTA trailer cross member, towing capa‐
city 5,000 or 7,500 lbs.
6) In trailer operation, no individual maximum per‐
missible gross weight of those specified in the
ta ble may be exceeded.
8) The vehicle length forve hicles with the model
series 90 7.657 (Ca rgoVa n) is 290 in (7,367 mm).
9) It is not possible to tow a trailer on vehicles
which ha venot been equipped wi tha trailer cou‐
pling as standard. In this case, the maximum per‐
missible gross vehicle weight cor responds tothe
maximum permissible gross weight of theve hicle
combination.
% If
th e trailer coupling is retrofitted, the identi‐
fi cation pla tes should be adap ted according ly
with the altered, maximum permissible
we ights. Please consult an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center if you ha veany fur‐
th er questions. The body builder label is
found on the front-end
module abo vethera diator and con tains the maxi‐
mum permissible curb weight forth eve hicles. Lashing points and car

NO
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. The nominal
tensile stre ngth is the maximum per‐
missible tensile forc e.
Fu rther information on the cargo tie-down points
and tie-down eyes can be obtained in the "T rans‐
porting" section (/ page 272).

roof racks &
WARNING Risk of inju ryif maximum roof
load is exceeded
If yo u place a load on thero of as well as any
ex tern al and internal attachments, theve hi‐
cle's center of gr avity will be raised and the
usual driving characteristics, as well as the
st eering and braking characteristics, will
ch ange. During cornering, theve hicle will tilt
more se verely and ma yre act more sluggishly
to steering mo vements.
If yo uexc eed the maximum roof load, the
driving characteristics, as well as thesteering Te
ch nical da ta353

and braking
characteristics, will be greatly
impaired. #
Always comply with the maximum roof
load and adjust your driving style. &
WARNING Danger of accident due to
une ven loading
If yo u load theve hicle une venly, the handling
ch aracteristics as well as thesteering‑ and
braking characteristics can be heavily
impaired. #
Load theve hicle evenly. #
Secu rethe load against sliding. The driving, braking and
steering characteristics
of theve hicle will change with the type of load,
th ewe ight and the center of gr avity of the load.
* NO
TERisk of accident if the maximum
permitted roof load is exceeded. If
th ewe ight of thero of luggage, including the
ro of rack ,exc eeds the maximum permitted
ro of load, there is a risk of an accident. #
Ensure that thewe ight of thero of lug‐
ga ge and roof rack toget her does not
exc eed the maximum permitted roof
load. #
The roof rack 's supporting feet must be
ar ranged at a uni form distan ce from
ea ch other. #
Mercedes-Benz recommends you ins tall
a st abilizer bar on theve hicle's front
axle. Fu
