Owners Manual

approved for your vehicle and Sprinter trailer
tow hitch. You can also find information on
the permitted dimensions of the ball coupling
on the identification plate of the trailer tow
hitch.
You can obtain advice from a qualified
specialist workshop. Please also note the
information on towing a trailer in the
"Operation" section (Y page 150).
The permitted weight and load values, which
must not be exceeded, can be found in your
vehicle's registration papers and on the type
plates of the trailer tow hitch and the trailer
as well as the vehicle identification plate
(Y page 285). You will find the basic values
approved by the manufacturer in the
following table. If the values vary, the lowest
value always applies.
Make sure that you adhere to the weight
restrictions by having the weight checked on
a calibrated weighbridge.
!
On vehicles with a permissible gross
vehicle weight of 11030 lbs (5003 kg), the
permissible gross combination weight is
less than the total of the permissible gross
vehicle weight and the permissible trailer
load. Exceeding the permissible gross
combination weight can lead to damage to
the drivetrain, to the transmission or to the
trailer tow hitch.
If the vehicle or the trailer is fully laden, the
relevant value for the permissible gross
vehicle weight or the permissible trailer
load is therefore lower. In this case, the
trailer or the vehicle may only be partially
loaded.
