Either 85% of the car's kerbweight or the car's braked trailer weight limit - whichever figure is lower.

There are also potentially restrictions depending on when you passed your driving test but there shouldn't be any impact with a small car like the A Class:

85% is a recommendation rather than a limit. Possibly a wise recommendation mind you.

Yup - I suspect the A has a pretty low noseweight limit too, which won't help.
