Roof carrier
Important safety notes

WARNING
When a load is transported on the roof, the
vehicle's centre of gravity rises and the han-
dling changes. If you exceed the maximum
roof load, the handling as well as steering and
braking characteristics are severely affected.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always observe the maximum roof load and
adapt 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 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.
Make sure that the sliding sunroof can be fully
raised, depending on the vehicle's equip-
ment.
If the vehicle is not fitted with a roof carrier at
the factory, always observe the roof carrier man-
ufacturer's installation instructions. An incor-
rectly secured roof carrier or roof load may
become detached from the vehicle.
Roof carrier with a ladder
If the vehicle has a roof carrier
:
fitted at the
factory, the roof carrier may be walked on for
loading and unloading. The maximum permissi-
ble roof load of 150 kg may be exceeded by a
maximum of 90 kg for loading and unloading.
Use step
=
on the rear bumper and ladder
;
on the right-hand side of the rear of the vehicle
when ascending and descending. The ladder
can bear a maximum load of 90 kg.
Pay particular attention. Please note that dirt,
rain, ice or snow reduce the safety of your foot-
ing.
For safety reasons, only have the roof carrier
and ladder removed and fitted at a qualified
specialist workshop.
