Roof carrier
Important safety notes
G WARNING
When a load is transported on the roof, the
vehicle's centre of gravity rises and the han-
dling changes. If you exceed the maximum
roof load, the handling as well as steering and
braking characteristics are severely affected.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always observe the maximum roof load and
adapt your driving style.
You will find information on the maximum roof
load in the "Technical data" section
( page 488).
Y
! Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
only use roof carriers that have been tested
and approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
This helps to prevent damage to the vehi-
cle.
Position the load on the roof carrier in such
a way that the vehicle will not sustain dam-
age even when it is in motion.
Depending on the vehicle equipment,
ensure that when the roof carrier is fitted
you can:
raise the sliding sunroof/panorama slid-
R
ing sunroof fully
open the tailgate fully
R
An incorrectly secured roof carrier or roof
load may become detached from the vehicle.
You must therefore ensure that you observe
the roof carrier manufacturer's installation
instructions.
Vehicles with panorama sliding sunroof: if
a roof carrier is fitted, the panorama sliding
sunroof cannot be opened. In order to allow
ventilation of the vehicle interior, you can
raise the panorama sliding sunroof.
If a roof carrier approved by Mercedes-Benz
makes contact with the panorama sliding
sunroof, the sunroof will lower slightly but
remain raised in the rear.
Attaching the roof carrier
Secure the roof carrier to the roof rails.
