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
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 Damage to the panoramic sliding
sunroof when a roof rack is fitted
The panoramic sliding sunroof may be dam‐
aged by the roof rack if you attempt to open
it when the roof rack is fitted.
Do not open the panoramic sliding sun‐
#
roof if a roof rack is fitted.
In order to allow ventilation of the vehicle
interior, you can raise the panoramic sliding
sunroof.
Secure the roof rack to the roof railing.
