WARNING Risk of accident due to
exc eeding the maximum roof load
The vehicle centre of gravity and the usual
driving characteristics as well as thesteering
and braking characteristics alter.
If yo uexc eed the maximum roof load, the
driving characteristics, as well as steering
and braking, will be greatly impaired. #
Neverexc eed the maximum roof load
and adjust your driving style. Yo
u will find information on the maximum roof
load in the "Technical data" section.

s on driving with a roof load, trailer or
ful lyladen vehicle
When driving with a loaded roof luggage rack or
trailer as well as with a fully laden or fully occu‐
pied vehicle, theve hicle's driving and steering
ch aracteristics change.
Yo u should bear thefo llowing in mind:
R Do not exceed the permissible roof load and
to wing capacity. Also obser vethete ch nical
da ta inthe printed Owner's Manual.
R Evenly distribute thero of load, and place
heavy objects at the bottom. Also comply
with the no tes on loading theve hicle
(/ page 134).
R Drive attentivel y,and avoid sudden lypulling
aw ay, braking and steering as well as rapid
cornering. 194
Driving and pa rking

R
When mounted on ball head 1and guide
pin 2, the maximum load capacity is
10 0kg .Yo u can transpo rtup tofour bicy‐
cles.
The load capacity is calculated from thewe ight
of the bicycle rack and the bicycle rack load.
Obser vethe no tes on driving with a roof load,
trailer or fully laden vehicle (/ page192).
When using a bicycle rack , set the tyre pressure
fo r increased load on there ar axle of theve hicle.
Fu rther information on the tyre pressure can be
fo und in the tyre pressure table (/ page 385).
Note s on loading
The larger the dis tance between the load's
cent reof gr avity and the ball head, the greater
th e load on the trailer hitch.
Obser vethefo llowing no tes:
R Mount heavy bicycles as close totheve hicle
as possible.
R Alw ays distribute the load on the bicycle rack
as evenly as possible across theve hicle's
longitudinal axis. Mercedes-Benz
recommends removing all
de tach able parts from bicycles (e.g. bask ets,
ch ild seats, rech arge able bat teries) before load‐
ing them onto the bicycle rack . This will impr ove
th e aerodynamic resis tance and centre of gr avity
of the bicycle rack.
Alw ays secure the bicycles topreve ntthem from
moving around and check them at regular inter‐
va ls to ensure that they are secure.
Do not use tarp aulins or other co vers. The driv‐
ing characteristics and rear view may be
impaired. In addition, aerodynamic resis tance
and the load on the trailer hitch will increase. Load distribution on
the bicycle rack
1 Vertical dis tance between centre of gr avity
and ball head
2 Horizon tal dis tance between centre of gr av‐
ity and ball head
3 The centre of gr avity is on theve hicle's
centre axis
