Attaching a roof rack
& WARNING Risk of injury if the maximum
roof load is exceeded
When you load the roof, the centre of gravity
of the vehicle rises and the usual driving
Seats and stowing 147
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 Vehicle damage from non-
approved roof racks
The vehicle could be damaged by roof racks
which have not been tested and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
Only use roof racks tested and

approved by Mercedes-Benz.
