An incorrectly secured roof rack or load
could work loose from the vehicle and
thereby cause an accident. Follow the roof
rack manufacturer's installation instruc-
tions 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-
Benz vehicles. This helps to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle.
Position the load on the roof rack in such a
way that the vehicle will not sustain dam-
age even when it is in motion.
Do not open the roof if a roof rack is fitted.
You will otherwise damage the roof.
Leave the boot separator in the boot open
for protection.
Make sure that you can open the boot lid
completely.
