M Driver's Package: driving in
the higher speed range
Warning
Damage to vehicle components can negatively
impact handling at high speeds. This includes,
among other things, tires, undercarriage and
parts for improving aerodynamics. There is a
risk of accident. Have damage corrected by a
dealer’s service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop. Do not drive at
high speeds until the damage is corrected.
Roof-mounted luggage
rack
General information
Installation only possible with roof rack.
Roof racks are available as special accessories.
Safety information
Warning
When driving with a roof load, for instance with
roof-mounted luggage rack, the vehicle's cen‐
ter of gravity is higher, which increases the risk
of the vehicle tipping in critical driving situa‐
tions. There may be a risk of accident or risk of
damage to property. Driving with roof load only
with activated Dynamic Stability Control.
Mounting
Follow the installation instructions of the roof
rack.
Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained
for tilting and opening the glass sunroof.
Loading
Because roof-mounted luggage racks raise the
vehicle's center of gravity when loaded, they
have a major effect on vehicle handling and
steering response.
Therefore, note the following when loading and
driving:
▷ Do not exceed the approved roof/axle
weights and the approved gross vehicle
weight.
▷ Be sure that adequate clearance is main‐
tained for tilting and opening the glass sun‐
roof.
▷ Distribute the roof load uniformly.
▷ The roof load should not extend past the
loading area.
▷ Always place the heaviest pieces on the bot‐
tom.
▷ Secure the roof luggage firmly, for instance
using ratchet straps.
▷ Do not let objects project into the opening
path of the tailgate.
▷ Drive cautiously and avoid sudden accelera‐
tion and braking maneuvers. Take corners
gently.

of accident. Do not use the vehicle for M Sport
or motor sport type competitions.
Higher mechanical and thermal loads during
racetrack operation lead to increased wear. Use
of the vehicle in M Sport or motor sport type
competition is an improper use of the vehicle and
