Roof-mounted luggage rack
Information
Installation only possible with roof rack.
Roof racks are available as special accessories.
Securing
Follow the installation instructions of the roof
rack.
Loading
Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center
of gravity when loaded, they have a major ef‐
fect on vehicle handling and steering re‐
sponse.
Therefore, note the following when loading
and driving:
▷
Do not exceed the approved roof/axle
loads and the approved gross vehicle
weight.
▷
Be sure that adequate clearance is main‐
tained for tilting and opening the glass
sunroof.
▷
Distribute the roof load uniformly.
▷
The roof load should not extend past the
loading area.
▷
Always place the heaviest pieces on the
bottom.
▷
Secure the roof luggage firmly, e.g., tie
with ratchet straps.
▷
Do not let objects project into the opening
path of the tailgate.
▷
Drive cautiously and avoid sudden acceler‐
ation and braking maneuvers. Take corners
gently.
