Roof carrier
Important safety notes
G
Warning!
Only use carriers when the crossbars have
been completely mounted. The left and right
roof rails are only stabilized by means of the
crossbars mounted.
Follow the manufacturer’s installation
instructions. Otherwise, an improperly
attached carrier or its load could become
detached from the vehicle.
Do not exceed the maximum roof load of
198 lb (90 kg).
Take into consideration that when the roof is
loaded, the handling characteristics are
different from those when operating the
vehicle without the roof loaded.
!
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 cargo on the roof rack in such
a way that the vehicle will not sustain
damage even when it is in motion.
Depending on the vehicle equipment,
ensure that when the roof carrier is
installed you can:
R
raise the tilt/sliding sunroof fully
R
open the tailgate fully

Crossbar
The maximum roof load that can be utilized in
conjunction with accessories is reduced by
the dead weight of the crossbars (13.7 lbs/
6.2 kg).
!
Note that installing the crossbar
increases the vehicle height by 50 mm
compared to the height stated in the
"Technical data" section.
The keys and an Allen key are stored with the
vehicle tool kit in the stowage compartment
under the cargo compartment floor
(Y page 310).
