Loads
A loaded roof rack alters the vehicle's road be‐
haviour and steering response by shifting its cen‐
tre of gravity.
When loading and driving, bear the following in
mind:
▷
Do not exceed the permitted roof and axle
loads or the permitted gross weight.
▷
Make sure that there is sufficient space to
raise and open the Glass Roof.
▷
Distribute the roof load evenly.
▷
The roof load must not be spread over a large
area.
▷
Place heavy items of luggage at the bottom.
▷
Securely fasten the luggage, for example with
tensioning straps.
▷
Do not allow objects to protrude into the
swing range of the boot lid.
▷
Drive cautiously and avoid sudden accelera‐
tion, braking or cornering.
Rear luggage rack
Principle
The ball linkage of the trailer tow hitch can be
used as a mount for rear luggage racks; for ex‐
ample bicycle rack systems.
General
Rear luggage racks are available as special
equipment.
Bicycle rack systems for up to three bicycles can
be used.
Fastening
Follow the installation instructions for the rear
luggage rack.
Loads
The permitted gross weight of the rear luggage
rack when loaded depends on how far its centre
of gravity is from the ball linkage.
▷
If the centre of gravity is up to 30 cm, 11.8 in
from the ball linkage, the gross weight of the
rear luggage rack must not exceed
75 kg/165 lbs.
▷
If the centre of gravity is 60 cm, 23.5 in from
the ball linkage, the gross weight of the rear
luggage rack must not exceed 35 kg/77 lbs.
▷
Stow heavy loads as close as possible to the
ball linkage.
▷
Fasten loads securely to the rear luggage
rack and secure them against sliding around.
Before a journey
Before beginning the journey, check that the rear
lights on the rear luggage rack are working.
The maximum power of the rear luggage rack
rear lights must not exceed the values for trailer
rear lights, see page
To prevent functional limitations and malfunc‐
tions affecting Driver Assistance Systems, acti‐
vate towing a trailer mode, see page
Driving with a rear luggage rack
When laden, the rear luggage rack alters the ve‐
hicle's handling and steering response due to the
centre of gravity having been shifted.
When loading and driving, bear the following in
