Mercedes-Benz recommends removing all de tach-
able parts from bicycles (e.g. bask ets, ch ild seats,
re ch arge able batteries) before loading them onto
th e bicycle rack . This will impr ovethe aerody-
namic resis tance and centre of grav ity of the bicy-

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 driving
ch aracteristics and rear view may be impaired. In
