Roof carrier

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
When a load is transported on the roof, the
vehicle's centre of gravity rises and the han-
dling changes. If you exceed the maximum
roof load, the handling as well as steering and
braking characteristics are severely affected.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always observe the maximum roof load and
adapt 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.
Make sure that, depending on the vehicle's
equipment, you can raise the sliding sun-
roof fully and open the boot lid or tailgate
fully when the roof carrier is fitted.
! To avoid damaging or scratching the cov-
ers, do not use metallic or hard objects to
open them.
The maximum roof load is 100 kg.
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.
