Important safety notes G
WARNING
When aload is transported on the roof, the
vehicle's centre of gravity rises and the han-
dling changes. If you exceed the maximum
roof load, the handling as well as steering and braking characteristics are severely affected.
There is arisk of an accident.
Always observe the maximum roof load and
adapt your driving style.
You will find information on the maximum roof
load in the "Technical data" section
(Y page 377). !
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
use roof carriers that have been tested and
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This
helps to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Position the load on the roof carrier in such a way that the vehicle will not sustain damage
even when it is in motion.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, ensure
that when the roof carrier is fitted you can:
R raise the sliding sunroof/panorama sliding
sunroof fully
R open the boot lid fully
An incorrectly secured roof carrier or roof load
may become detached from the vehicle. You
must therefore ensure that you observe the roof
carrier manufacturer's installation instructions.
Vehicles with panoramas liding sunroof:if a
roof carrier is fitted, the panorama sliding sun-
roof cannot be opened. In order to allow venti-
lation of the vehicle interior, you can raise the
panorama sliding sunroof.
If ar oof carrier approved by Mercedes-Benz
makes contact with the panorama sliding sun-
roof, the sunroof will lower slightly but remain
raised in the rear.
Attaching the roof carrier X
Open covers :carefully in the direction of
