3.2.4 Roof
load
Only climb on to the roof if a roof rail or step has been fitted. Always
use the ladder at the rear to climb onto the roof.
Take care when stepping onto the ladder. There is danger of slipping
when the ladder is moist or icy.
Take care when stepping onto the roof. There is danger of slipping
when the roof is moist or icy.
Do not overload the roof. Road behaviour and brake reaction deterio-
rate as the roof load increases.
If the vehicle is equipped with a roof rail, load racks can be mounted on
the roof rail for roof loads (e.g. for surfboards, rubber boats or light ca-
noes). Special girder systems are available as accessory. The author-
ised dealer or service centre will be happy to advise you.
The maximum permissible roof load is 75 kg.
If there is a step, only access the roof using the step provided for this
purpose.
Secure roof loads with tension belts. Do not use rubber expanders.
Observe the overall height of the vehicle when the roof rack is loaded.
The driver's cabin should have a clearly visible notice stating the overall
height. This eliminates the need for calculations at bridges and thor-
oughfares.

Roof rail and step
If the vehicle is equipped with a roof rail (Fig. 1,1), then depending on the
version a step will also be mounted on the roof (Fig. 1,2). In this case, only
access the roof using the step.
