Warning
In Neutral, in GREEN Mode or with drive-
ready state switched off, safety-relevant
functions, for instance engine brake force,
braking force boost, and steering assis-
tance, are restricted or not available at all.
There is a risk of accident. Do not drive in
Neutral, in GREEN Mode or with drive-
ready state switched off.
Brake disk corrosion
Corrosion on the brake disks and contami-
nation on the brake pads are increased by
the following circumstances:
– Low mileage.
– Extended stationary periods.
– Infrequent use of the brakes.
– Aggressive, acidic, or alkaline cleaning
agents.
Corrosion buildup on the brake disks will
cause a pulsating effect on the brakes when
braking slowly - generally this cannot be
corrected.
Condensation water under the
parked vehicle
When using the automatic climate control,
condensation water develops and collects
underneath the vehicle.
Ground clearance
NOTICE
If the ground clearance is insufficient, e.g.,
curbs or underground garage entrances,
contact with vehicle parts, e.g., spoiler,
and the underbody may occur. There is a
risk of damage to property, among other
potential damage. Ensure that there is suf-
ficient ground clearance available.
Roof-mounted luggage rack
General information
Installation only possible with roof rack.
Roof racks are available as optional accesso-
ries.
Installation
Follow the assembly instructions of the roof
rack.
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
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, for in-
stance using luggage straps.
– Do not let objects project into the swiv-
eling range of the tailgate.
– Drive cautiously and avoid driving off
and braking with jerky movements or
fast cornering.
