Things to remember when driving
DRIVING TIPS
property damage. Do not attempt to drive in
Neutral or with drive-ready state switched off.
The vehicle manufacturer recommends using
special sport tires, e.g., high-performance tires.
Sports tires are matched to the special require-
ments of a sporty driving style. For more infor-
mation on sport tires, contact an authorized
service center or another qualified service cen-
ter or repair shop.
Brake disk corrosion
Corrosion on the brake disks and contamina-
tion on the brake pads are increased by the
following circumstances:
Before and after driving on a racetrack, have
the vehicle checked by an authorized service
center or another qualified service center or
repair shop.
▷
▷
▷
▷
Low mileage.
Extended stationary periods.
Infrequent use of the brakes.
Aggressive, acidic, or alkaline cleaning
agents.
Roof bars
Corrosion buildup on the brake disks will cause
a pulsating effect on the brakes when braking
slowly - generally this cannot be corrected.
General information
Roof racks are available as optional accesso-
ries.
Condensation water under the
parked vehicle
When using the automatic climate control, con-
densation water develops and collects under-
neath the vehicle.
Safety information
Warning
When driving with a roof load, e.g., roof bars,
the vehicle's center of gravity is higher. This
increases the risk of the vehicle tipping in
critical driving situations. There is a risk of
accident, injury, and property damage. Drive
with roof load only with activated Dynamic
Stability Control.
Driving on racetracks
Warning
The vehicle is not designed for use in M Sport
or motorsport-like competition. There is a risk
of accident, injury, and property damage. Do
not use the vehicle for M Sport or motorsport-
like competitions.
Roof strip with flaps
The mounting points are located in the roof
strip above the doors.
Higher mechanical and thermal loads during
racetrack operation lead to increased wear.
Use of the vehicle in M Sport or motor sport
type competition is an improper use of the ve-
hicle and may affect your warranty coverage.
Please consult the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty Booklet for further information on war-
ranty matters.

DRIVING TIPS
Fold the cover outward.
Installation
Follow the assembly instructions for the roof
bars.
Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained
for tilting and opening the glass sunroof.
Loading
Because luggage racks raise the vehicle's cen-
ter of gravity when loaded, they have a ma-
jor effect on vehicle handling and steering re-
sponse.
When loading and driving, note the following:
▷
Do not exceed the approved roof/axle
weights and the approved gross vehicle
weight.
▷
▷
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 instance
using luggage straps.
Do not let objects project into the swiveling
range of the tailgate.
Drive carefully. Do not drive off or brake
suddenly or take corners at speed.
