& WARNING Risk of accident due to exceed-
ing the maximum roof load
The vehicle centre of gravity and the usual
driving characteristics as well as the steering
and braking characteristics alter.
If you exceed the maximum roof load, the driv-
ing characteristics, as well as steering and
braking, will be greatly impaired.
Never exceed 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 vehicle due to not
observing the maximum permitted head-
room clearance
If the vehicle height is greater than the maxi-
mum permitted headroom clearance, the roof
and other parts of the vehicle may be dam-
aged.
Observe the signposted headroom clear-
#
ance.
If the vehicle height is greater than the
#
permitted headroom clearance, do not
enter.
Observe the changed vehicle height with
#
add-on roof equipment.
* NOTE Vehicle damage from non-approved
roof luggage racks
The vehicle could be damaged by roof luggage
racks that have not been tested and approved
for Mercedes-Benz.
Use only roof luggage racks tested and
#
approved for Mercedes-Benz.
Depending on the vehicle equipment,
#
ensure that the sliding sunroof can be
fully raised when the roof luggage rack is
fitted.
Depending on the vehicle equipment,
#
ensure that the boot lid can be fully
opened when the roof luggage rack is fit-
ted.
Position the load on the roof luggage
#
rack in such a way that the vehicle will
not sustain damage even when it is in
motion.
