Only NAFTAtrailer cross member,towing capa‐
city5,000 or 7, 500 lbs.
6)
In trailer operation, no individual maximumper‐
missible gross weight of those specified in the
table maybeexceeded.
8)
The vehicle lengthfor vehicles withthe model
series 907.657(CargoVan) is 290in(7, 367mm).
9)
It is notpossible to towatrailer on vehicles
whichhavenot been equipped with atrailer cou‐
plingasstandard. In this case, themaximum per‐
missible gross vehicle weight corresponds to the
maximumpermissible gross weight of thevehicle
combination.

If thetrailer coupling is retrofitted,the identi‐
fication platesshould be adaptedaccordingly
withthe altered, maximum permissible
weights. Please consult aFreightliner
Sprinter service center if youhave anyfur‐
ther questions.
The body builder label is found on thefront-end
module above theradiator and contains themaxi‐
mum permissible curb weight forthe vehicles.

Information aboutthe cargo tie-down points
*
NOTE Risk of accident if themaximum
loading capacity of thecargo tie-down
point is exceeded
If youcombinevarious cargo tie-down points
to secureaload, alwaystakethe maximum
loading capacity of theweakestcargo tie-
down pointintoaccount.
During maximum full-stop braking, forces may
act whichcan multiplythe weight of theload.
#
Alwaysuse severalcargo tie-down
pointstodistributeand spread theload.
Distributethe load on thecargo tie-
down points evenly.
The nominal tensilestrengthisthe maximum per‐
missible tensileforce.
Further information on thecargo tie-down points
and tie-down eyes can be obtained in the"Trans‐
porting" section (/ page 176).

WARNING Risk of injury if maximum roof
load is exceeded
If youplaceaload on theroof as well as any
external and internal attachments,the vehi‐
cle's center of gravity will be raised and the
usual drivingcharacteristics, as well as the
steering and braking characteristics, will
change. During cornering,the vehicle will tilt
moreseverely andmay react moresluggishly
to steering movements.
If youexceed themaximum roof load, the
