Roof rack system* and ski rack*
G Risk of accident
An incorrectly secured roof rack, ski rack
or load could work loose from the vehicle
and thereby cause an accident. Follow the
roof rack/ski rack manufacturers' installa-
tion instructions and special instructions
for use.
The roof load raises the vehicle's centre of
gravity, thereby affecting vehicle handling.
You must observe the maximum roof load
of 50 kg. Always adapt your driving style to
the prevailing road, traffic and weather con-
ditions and drive with particular care if the
roof is laden.
!
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
only use roof rack systems which have
been tested and approved for Mercedes-
