that the front and rear locking levers (label I
and II) are locked to the stop on both sides
of the guide rail. The load compartment
floor must be fully retracted inside the ve-
hicle and locked securely in position. You

Carrier systems
You can fit a roof rack on the roof and a
rear-mounted bicycle carrier on the tail-
gate.
Make sure that the securing bolts on the
roof rack are screwed into the threaded
holes provided and tightened to a maxi-
mum torque of 10 Nm and with a mini-
mum screw penetration of four complete
turns. Only fit roof racks that have been
approved or recommended for Mercedes-
Benz vehicles. This helps to prevent ve-
hicle damage.

If you have fitted roof rack systems, the ve-
hicle's handling, steering and braking char-
acteristics may change due to the higher
centre of gravity. This is the case particu-
larly if the roof rack system is laden. Adapt
