Roof carrier
Important safety notes G
WARNING
When you load the roof, the center of gravity
of the vehicle rises and the driving character- istics change. If you exceed the maximum roof
load, the driving characteristics, as well as
steering and braking, will be greatly impaired. There is a risk of an accident.
Never exceed the maximum roof load and
adjust your driving style.
! 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 vehi-
cle.
Position the load on the roof carrier in such
a way that the vehicle will not sustain dam-
age even when it is in motion.
Ensure that when the roof carrier is instal-
led:
R you can raise the sliding sunroof or the
panorama roof with power tilt/sliding
panel fully (depending on the vehicle's
equipment)
R you can open the tailgate or trunk lid fully
R the roof carrier does not come into con-
tact with the antenna
! To avoid damaging or scratching the cov-
ers, do not use metallic or hard objects to
open them.
You will find information on the maximum roof
load in the "Technical data" section
(Y page 419).
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. Attaching the roof carrier (Sedan)
