the vehicle interior is reduced as a result. At low
speeds it raises again automatically.
You can also temporarily deactivate automatic
lowering. To do so, press the3switch. The
panorama roof with power tilt/sliding panel rai-
ses again automatically.
You can continue to operate the panorama roof
with power tilt/sliding panel after you switch off
the engine or remove the SmartKey. This func-
tion remains active for five minutes or until you
open a front door.
When a roof carrier is mounted the panorama
roof with power tilt/sliding panel cannot be
opened. The panorama roof with power tilt/slid-
ing panel can still be raised to allow ventilation
of the vehicle interior. If the panorama roof with
power tilt/sliding panel makes contact with a
roof carrier approved by Mercedes-Benz, the
sunroof will lower slightly but remain raised at
the rear.
Rain-closing feature
The raised panorama roof with power tilt/sliding panel automatically lowers when driving if it
starts to rain. The sliding sunroof is lowered
depending on:
Rthe road speed
Rthe intensity of the rain
You can manually cancel the automatic closing
procedure. Press or pull the 3switch in any
direction.
To raise the panorama roof with power tilt/slid- ing panel again, press the 3switch in direc-
tion :.
The rain-closing feature is then deactivated until
you:
Rpress or pull the 3switch in any direction
or
Rturn the SmartKey to another position in the
ignition lock (Ypage 132)
Operating the roller sunblinds for the
panorama roof with power tilt/sliding
panel
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Parts of the body could become trapped
between the roller sunblind and frame or slid-
ing sunroof during automatic opening or clos-
ing. There is a risk of injury.
When opening or closing, make sure that no
body parts are in the sweep of the roller sun-
blind.
If somebody becomes trapped:
Rrelease the switch immediately, or
Rduring automatic operation, push the
switch briefly in any direction
The opening or closing procedure will be stop- ped.
The roller sunblinds shield the vehicle interior
from sunlight. The roller sunblinds can only be
opened and closed when the panorama roof
with power tilt/sliding panel is closed.
Roller sunblind reversing feature
The roller sunblinds are equipped with an auto-
matic reversing feature. If a solid object blocks
or restricts a roller sunblind during the closing
process, the roller sunblind opens again auto-
matically. However, the automatic reversing
feature is only an aid and is not a substitute of
your attentiveness when closing the roller sun-
blind.
GWARNING
The reversing feature does not react in par-
ticular to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small
fingers. This means that the reversing feature
cannot prevent someone being trapped in
these situations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing the roller sunblind, make sure
that no body parts are in the sweep area.

Roof carrier
Important safety notes
GWARNING
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.
You will find information on the maximum roof
load in the "Technical data" section
(
Ypage 370).
!Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
use roof carriers that have been tested and
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This
helps to avoid 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 installed you can:
Rfully raise the sliding sunroof/panorama
roof with power tilt/sliding panel
Ropen the tailgate fully

Features
Cup holder
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you transport objects in the vehicle interior
and these are not adequately secured, they
could slip or be flung around and thereby
strike vehicle occupants. In addition, cup
holders, open stowage spaces and mobile
phone brackets may not always be able to
hold the objects placed in them in the event of
an accident. There is a risk of injury, particu-
larly in the event of sharp braking or sudden
changes of direction.
RAlways stow objects in such a way that they cannot be tossed about in these or similar
situations.
RAlways make sure that objects do not pro-
trude out of the stowage spaces, luggage
nets or stowage nets.
REnsure that closable stowage spaces are
shut before beginning your journey.
RAlways stow and secure heavy, hard, poin-
ted, sharp-edged, fragile or large objects in
the cargo compartment.
!Only use the cup holders for containers of
the right size and which have lids. The drinks could otherwise spill.
!Do not expose drinks bottles in the cup
holder in the center console to continuous,
strong and direct sunlight. The passenger
compartment in the area of the center con-
sole can otherwise be damaged by the con-
centrated and reflected sunlight.
Observe the loa
ding guidelines (Ypage 278).
