DRIVING TIPS
Safety information
Warning
When driving with a roof load, for instance
with roof-mounted luggage rack, the vehicle's
center of gravity is higher, which increases
the risk of the vehicle tipping in critical driving
situations. There may be a risk of accidents
or risk of damage to property. Drive with roof
load only with activated Dynamic Stability
Control.
Roof strip with flaps
The mounting points are located in the roof
strip above the doors.
Fold the cover outward.
Installation
Follow the assembly instructions of the roof
rack.
Loading
Because luggage racks raise the vehicle's cen-
ter of gravity when loaded, they have a ma-
jor effect on vehicle handling and steering re-
sponse.
Therefore, note the following when loading
and driving:
▷ Do not exceed the approved roof/axle
weights and the approved gross vehicle
weight.
▷ Distribute the roof load uniformly.

▷ The roof load should not extend past the
loading area.
▷ Always place the heaviest pieces on the
bottom.
▷ Secure the roof luggage firmly, for instance
using luggage straps.
▷ Do not let objects project into the swiveling
range of the tailgate.
▷ Drive cautiously and avoid driving off and
braking with jerky movements or fast cor-
nering.
Driving on racetracks
Warning
The vehicle is not designed for use in M Sport
or motorsport-like competition. There is a risk
of accident. Do not use the vehicle for M
Sport or motorsport-like competitions.
Higher mechanical and thermal loads during
racetrack operation lead to increased wear.
Use of the vehicle in M Sport or motor sport
type competition is an improper use of the ve-
hicle and may affect your warranty coverage.
