  • brake sharply

Only use the cup holders for containers of a suitable size and which have lids. Otherwise, the drinks could spill.

Cup holders should not be used for hot drinks. Otherwise, you may scald yourself.

Roof rack system*

Risk of accident

You can only mount a roof rack on vehicles that have covers on the front roof pillars and reinforced rear wheel arches.

Only use the roof rack when basic carrier bars are fitted. The left and right rails are only stabilised by the basic carrier bars being fitted.

An incorrectly secured roof rack or load could work loose from the vehicle and thereby cause an accident. Follow the roof rack manufacturer's installation instructions and special instructions for use.

The roof load raises the vehicle's centre of gravity, thereby affecting vehicle handling. You must observe the maximum roof load of 50 kg. Always adapt your driving style to the prevailing road, traffic and weather conditions and drive with particular care if the roof is laden.

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only use roof rack systems which have been tested and approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This helps to prevent damage to the vehicle.

Position the load on the roof rack in such a way that the vehicle will not sustain damage even when it is in motion.

Do not open the roof if a roof rack is fitted. You will otherwise damage the roof.

Leave the boot separator in the boot open for protection.

Make sure that you can open the boot lid completely.

Risk of injury
