Important safety notes
WARNING
Only use roof racks approved by Mercedes- Benz for your vehicle model to avoid damage to the vehicle.
Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions. Otherwise, an improperly attached roof rack system or its load could become detached from the vehicle.
Do not exceed the maximum roof load of 165 lb (75 kg).
Take into consideration that when the roof rack is loaded, the handling characteristics are different from those when operating the vehicle without the roof rack 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.
Ensure that, depending on the vehicle's equipment, you can raise the panorama roof with power tilt/sliding panel fully and open the tailgate fully when the roof carrier is installed.
