Subject: ADS/ Adaptive Suspension Handling Requirements
In 2016, MBUSA implemented several loading restrictions related to the transportation of vehicles equipped with the ADS+ system. During this
time, tests were performed and observations were made regarding the necessity of these restrictions. Based on these results, MBUSA is hereby
modifying the restrictions as follows:
Loading of ADS Vehicles:
May be loaded on any deck of the trailer
No restriction on maximum number of ADS+ units per load
Increased space minimums remain (toward the ground: 4in., to the front/back: 4in., above roof: 8in.)
Note: If loaded on top deck, total trailer height must be under 12’8” for the increased space minimums.
Ensure tie-down straps show no signs of structural integrity being compromised (e.g. frayed, torn, etc.)
Transportation of ADS Vehicles:
Check and adjust the straps after the first 50 miles of travel.
Transportation of ADS Vehicles:
Check and adjust the straps after the first 50 miles of travel.
Afterwards, check the
straps in regular intervals,
especially after extraordinary
driving situations: (emergency
braking, swerving, etc. Straps
may become loose or break)
Identification of ADS Vehicles:
A notification will be provided
through our normal manifest
process to identify vehicles equipped with ADS+. Additionally, vehicles may have a broadcast sheet in the windshield which will identify the
suspension code.
ADS vehicles should have special label (below) applied by the factory to the driver side door frame (B pillar), adjacent to the tire and loading
information label, which addresses the increased distance.
