Important safety notes
G WARNING
When you load the roof, the center of gravity
of the vehicle rises and the driving
characteristics change. If you exceed the
maximum roof load, the driving
characteristics, as well as steering and
braking, will be greatly impaired. There is a
risk of an accident.
Never exceed the maximum roof load and
adjust your driving style.
The maximum roof load is 220 lbs (100 kg).
! Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
only use roof carriers that have been tested
and approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
This helps to avoid damage to the vehicle.
Position the load on the roof carrier in such
a way that the vehicle will not sustain
damage even when it is in motion.
Ensure that, depending on the vehicle's
equipment, you can raise the panorama
roof with power tilt/sliding panel fully and
open the trunk lid fully when the roof carrier
is installed.
! To avoid damaging or scratching the
covers, do not use metallic or hard objects
to open them.
An incorrectly secured roof carrier or roof
load may become detached from the vehicle.
You must therefore ensure that you observe
the roof carrier manufacturer's installation
instructions.
Vehicles with a panorama roof with
power tilt/sliding panel: the panorama roof
with power tilt/sliding panel cannot be
opened if a roof carrier is installed. The
panorama roof with power tilt/sliding panel
can still be raised to allow ventilation of the
vehicle interior.
If the panorama roof with power tilt/sliding
panel makes contact with a roof carrier
approved by Mercedes-Benz, the sunroof will
lower slightly but remain raised at the rear.
