G
Risk of accident and injury
An incorrectly secured roof rack, ski rack
or load could work loose from the vehicle.
These objects may then be thrown around
and can injure you or others or cause an
accident. Follow the roof rack/ski rack
manufacturers' installation instructions
and special instructions for use.
The roof load raises the vehicle's centre of
gravity, thereby affecting vehicle handling.
You must always observe the maximum
roof load of 100 kg. Always adapt your driv-
ing style to the prevailing road, traffic and
weather conditions and drive with particu -
lar care if the roof is laden.
i Mercedes-Benz roof racks have been spe-
cially developed and tested in accordance
with Mercedes-Benz standards. These roof
racks comply with DIN standard 75302 and
are additionally subjected to crash and
durability tests.
! Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
only use roof rack systems which have
been tested and approved for Mercedes- Benz vehicles. This helps to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle.
Position the load on the roof rack in such
a
way that the vehicle is not damaged, even
when it is in motion .
Make sure that, depending on the vehicle's
equipment, you can raise the sliding/tilting
sunroof* or panorama sliding/tilting sun-
roof* fully and open the boot lid/tailgate
fully.
