Transportation on the roof rack
Fig. 146
Attachment points
The attachment points
A
and
B
are located on both sides of the vehicle
» Fig. 146 .
The mounting and dismounting of the basic carrier is carried out according to
the instructions provided.
Roof load
The maximum permitted weight of the load incl. the carrier is 100 kg.
WARNINGFor road safety when transporting cargo on the roof rack, observe the fol-
lowing instructions.■
Always distribute the load on the roof rack evenly and secure properly us-
ing suitable lashing straps or tensioning straps.
■
When transporting heavy objects or objects which take up a large area on
the roof rack system, the handling of the car may change as a result of the
displacement of the centre of gravity. The style of driving and speed must
therefore be adapted to the current circumstances.
■
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total ve-
hicle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of acci-
dent!
CAUTION
■ Make sure that the sliding / tilting roof or the boot lid does not collide with
the roof load when opened.■
Ensure the roof aerial is not impaired by the load being transported. 
112Using the system

■Door lock cylinder
■ Make sure that as little water as possible gets into the locking cylinder
when washing the vehicle - there is a risk of freezing the lock cylinder!■
Wheels
■ Heavy contamination of the wheels can affect the balance of the wheels -
this can result in vibrations and, under some circumstances, can cause pre-
mature wear of the steering wheel.
Remove ice and snow from the windows

Installation location of the ice
scraper, removing the scraper
Read and observe and on page 260 first.
Use a plastic ice scraper for removing snow and ice from the windows and mir-
rors. This can be on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
›
Open the fuel filler flap and slide the scraper in the direction of arrow
» Fig. 313 .
CAUTION
■
Move the scraper in one direction only, otherwise there is a risk of damage to
the glass surface.■
Do not remove snow / ice on the surface that is soiled (e.g. pea gravel, sand,
road salt) - there is a risk of damaging the surface.
■
Remove snow / ice carefully, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the labels
that have been fitted by the factory.

WARNING■
Never clean the seat belts chemically as chemical cleaning products could
destroy the fabric.■
Air fresheners and scents can be hazardous to heath when the tempera-
ture inside the vehicle is high.
CAUTION
■ Natural leather /Faux leather / Alcantara ®
/ material
■ In lengthy periods in bright sunlight, it might be sensible to cover these
materials in order to avoid bleaching. ■ Fresh stains (e.g. from pens, lipstick, shoe polish etc.) should be removed as
soon as possible. 263Care and maintenance

■Ensure that no part of the leather is soaked through during cleaning and
that no water gets into the seams.
■ Do not clean the roof panelling with a brush – risk of damage to the surface
of the panelling.
■ Do not use solvents, floor wax, shoe cream, stain remover or similar agents
on Alcantara ®
seat upholstery.
■ Some clothing fabrics (e.g. dark denim) do not have sufficient colour fast-
ness - this may leave evident marks on upholstery. This is not a defect in the
fabric.
■ Sharp objects on garments (e.g. zips, rivets, sharp- edged belts) can dam-
age the upholstery fabrics in the vehicle. Such damage cannot be subse-
quently recognised as a justified complaint.■
Plastic parts ■ Do not attach scents or air fresheners to the dashboard – there is a risk of
damage to the dashboard.
■
Windows
■ Do not attach any stickers to the filaments or glass antenna - there is risk
of damage.
■
Covers of electrically heated seats
■ Do not clean with water or other liquids - there is a risk of damage to the
heating system.
■ Do not dry by switching on the heating.
■
Seat belts
■ Allow to dry before rolling up the seat belts.
