& WARNING Danger of accident due to
uneven loading
If you load the vehicle unevenly, the handling
characteristics as well as the steering‑ and
braking characteristics can be heavily
impaired.
Load the vehicle evenly.
#
Secure the load against sliding.
#
* NOTE Danger of accident if the maximum
permitted roof load is exceeded.
If the weight of the roof luggage, including the
roof rack, exceeds the maximum permitted
roof load, there is the danger of an accident.
Ensure that the weight of the roof lug‐
#
gage and roof rack does not exceed the
maximum permitted roof load.
The roof rack's supporting feet must be
#
arranged at a uniform distance from
each other.
Mercedes-Benz recommends you install
#
a stabilizer bar on the vehicle's front
axle.
