Information about roof racks
& WARNING Risk of injury due to the maxi‐
mum roof load being exceeded
When you place a load on the roof as well as
all outer and inner attachments, the vehicle's
centre of gravity will rise and the familiar driv‐
ing characteristics as well as the steering and
braking characteristics will change. When
driving around bends, the vehicle will tilt
more heavily and may react more sluggishly
to steering movements.
If you exceed the maximum roof load, the
driving characteristics, as well as the steering
and braking, will be greatly impaired.
Never exceed the maximum roof load
#
and adjust your driving style.
& 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 advises you to install a
#
stabiliser on the vehicle's front axle.
Further information about safety measures can
be found in the "Transport" section
( page 264).
