Bag hooks (Coupé)
G
Risk of injury
Only hang light loads on the bag holders. Do
not use them to transport heavy, sharp-edged
or fragile objects. When braking sharply,
changing direction quickly or in the event of
an accident, the bag hooks will not secure the
items sufficiently. This could result in injury to
yourself or others.
! The bag hook can bear a maximum load
of 3 kg. Do not use it to secure a load.

! Remove the handle again before closing

the handle flap from protruding. Otherwise,
you could damage the handle.
Roof rack* (Coupé)
G Risk of accident and injury
An incorrectly secured roof rack, ski rack or
load could work loose from the vehicle. These
objects may then be thrown around and can
injure you or others or cause an accident. Fol-
low the roof rack/ski rack manufacturer's
installation instructions and special instruc-
tions for use.
The roof load raises the vehicle's centre of
gravity, thereby affecting vehicle handling.
You must always observe the maximum roof
load of 100 kg. Always adapt your driving style
to the prevailing road, traffic and weather
conditions 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-
