The vehicle center of gravity and the usual driv-
ing characteristics as well as the steering and
braking characteristics will change.
If you exceed the maximum roof load, the driv-
ing characteristics, as well as the steering and
braking characteristics, will be greatly
impaired.
Always comply with the maximum roof
#
load and adjust your driving style.

Observe the following points for installing roof lug-
gage racks:
ack
Tighten the screws of the roof luggage rack to
R
a torque of 6.0 lb- (8 Nm) – 7.4 lb- (10 Nm)
in the designated sliding blocks.
The tightened screws should not touch the
R
rails.
Ensure that the sliding blocks are not located
R
in the areas around the plastic caps.
The sliding blocks must have the right cross-
R
section.
The insides of the mounting rails must be free
R
of dirt.
Re-tighten the screws uniformly a er around
R
300 miles (500 km).
Freightliner Sprinter recommends that you use
only roof luggage racks that have been tested and
approved for Freightliner Sprinter. These help to
prevent vehicle damage.
Have mounting rails retro tted only at a quali ed
specialist workshop. Otherwise, you could damage
the vehicle.
If your vehicle is equipped with mounting rails on
the roof, you can install a roof luggage rack on the
roof. Special fasteners (sliding blocks) are available
as accessories for this purpose.
These fasteners are available from any Freightliner
Sprinter service center.
