WARNING

When you load the roof, the center of gravity

of the vehicle rises and the driving character-

istics 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.

!

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you

only use roof carriers that have been tested

and approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

This helps to prevent damage to the vehi-

cle.

a way that the vehicle will not sustain dam-

age even when it is in motion.
Depending on the vehicle equipment,

ensure that when the roof carrier is instal-

led you can:

sliding panel fully

open the tailgate fully

The maximum roof load is 220 lbs(100 kg).
