& WARNING Risk of injury if the maximum
roof load is exceeded
When you load the roof, the center of gravity
of the vehicle rises and the usual driving
characteristics as well as the steering and
braking characteristics change. During cor‐
nering, the vehicle tilts more strongly and
may react more sluggishly to steering move‐
ments.
If you exceed the maximum roof load, the
driving characteristics, as well as the steer‐
ing and braking characteristics, will be
greatly impaired.
Always comply with the maximum roof
#
load and adjust your driving style.
You will find information on the maximum roof
load in the "Technical data" section.
* NOTE Damage to the panorama roof with
power tilt/sliding panel caused by a non-
approved roof rack
The panorama roof with power tilt/sliding
panel may be damaged by the roof rack if
you attempt to open it when using a roof
rack that has not been tested and approved
for Mercedes-Benz.
When a roof rack is installed, open the
#
panorama roof with power tilt/sliding
panel only if the roof rack has been tes‐
ted and approved for Mercedes-Benz.
In order to allow ventilation of the vehicle
interior, you can raise the panorama roof
with power tilt/sliding panel.
Secure the roof rack to the roof railing.
