G
Risk of accident and injury
An incorrectly secured roof rack, ski rack or
load could become detached from the vehi-
cle. These objects may be thrown around and
can injure you or others, or cause an accident.
Follow the roof rack/ski rack manufacturer's
installation instructions and special instruc-
tions 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 driving style
to the prevailing road, traffic and weather
conditions and drive with particular care if the
roof is laden.
! 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 will not sustain dam-
age even when it is in motion.
Ensure that, depending on the vehicle's
equipment, you can raise the sliding/tilting
sunroof* or panorama sliding sunroof* fully
and open the boot lid/tailgate completely. Saloon

Retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters)
Use the Technical Specification
ISO/TS 21609 46
implementation regulation
when retrofitting RF (radio frequency) trans-
mitters.
If your vehicle has fittings for two-way radio
equipment (e.g. taxis, hire cars or official vehi-
cles), use the power supply or aerial connec-
tions intended for use with the basic wiring.
Be sure to observe the manufacturer's addi-
tional instructions when installing the fittings.
! Damage resulting from installation work
that has not been carried out correctly is
not covered by the Mercedes-Benz implied
warranty.
To ensure correct installation, Mercedes-
Benz recommends having this work done
at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre or at a
qualified specialist workshop.

not exceed the maximum values below. Waveband Maximum trans-
mission output

Risk of accident
Incorrect retrofitting of RF transmitters can
cause the vehicle electronics to malfunction,
impair the vehicle's operating safety and,
thus, also impair your own safety.
To ensure correct installation, Mercedes-
Benz recommends having this work done at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre or at a quali-
fied specialist workshop. G
Risk of injury
Improper installation of RF transmitters can
lead to increased electromagnetic radiation in
the vehicle interior. Using an exterior aerial
takes into account current scientific discus-
sions relating to the possible health hazards
that may result from electromagnetic fields.
To ensure correct installation, Mercedes-
Benz recommends having this work done at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre or at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
Deviations with respect to aerial locations,
output and frequencies must be approved by
Mercedes-Benz. Other aerial positions
There is no restriction for aerial positions in
the outer area of the vehicle for these wave-
bands: trunked radio/Tetra, 70 cm wave-
band, GSM 900/AMPS, GSM 1800 and
UMTS.
Legal provisions for fittings must be
observed.
RF transmitters with a maximum transmis-
sion output of 100 mW (PEAK) may be used
in the vehicle without restrictions.
!
The operating permit may be invalidated
if the instructions for installation and use of
RF transmitters are not observed, e.g.
approved wavebands, maximum output
and aerial positions on the vehicle. Vehicle identification plates
