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.
Roof bars
When loading and driving, note the following:
General information
Roof racks are available as optional accesso-
ries.
▷
Do not exceed the approved roof/axle
weights and the approved gross vehicle
weight.
▷
▷
Distribute the roof load uniformly.
Safety information
The roof load should not extend past the
loading area.
Warning
▷
▷
▷
▷
Always place the heaviest pieces on the
bottom.
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 crit-
ical driving situations. There is a risk of acci-
dent, injury, or property damage. Drive with
roof load only with activated Dynamic Stabil-
ity Control.
Secure the roof luggage firmly, for instance
using luggage straps.
Do not let objects project into the swiveling
range of the trunk lid.
Drive carefully. Do not drive off or brake
suddenly or take corners at speed.
Roof strip with flaps
The mounting points are located in the roof
strip above the doors.
