* NOTE Damage to the wheel arch flares
and bumpers if used as a step
The wheel arch flares and bumpers can be
damaged or become detached from the vehi-
cle if you use them as a step.
Only use the two steps indicated on the
#
rear bumper.
* NOTE Vehicle damage due to non-
approved roof racks
The vehicle could be damaged by roof racks
that have not been tested and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
Only use roof racks approved for
#
Mercedes-Benz.
Depending on the vehicle equipment,
#
ensure that the sliding sunroof can be
fully raised when the roof rack is fitted.
Position the load on the roof rack in such
#
a way that the vehicle will not sustain
damage even when it is in motion.
* NOTE Maximum permissible roof load
The weight of the roof luggage, including the
roof rack, must not exceed the maximum per-
missible roof load.
The maximum roof load is 150 kg with at least
three pairs of supporting feet.
This information applies if the load is distrib-
uted evenly across the entire roof area. The
maximum load per pair of supporting roof rack
feet is 50 kg.
If the vehicle is at a standstill and at least three
pairs of supporting feet are being used, you may
exceed the maximum permissible roof load of
150 kg by a maximum of 150 kg. You can use this
if you are using a roof tent, for example. It is abso-
lutely essential to comply with the installation
instructions of the roof rack manufacturer.
* NOTE Damage to the covers
The covers may be damaged and scratched
when being opened.
Use the attached disassembly tool in the
#
vehicle tool bag.
Do not use metallic or hard objects.
