straps
There is a risk of accident and injury.
Store only skis in the skibag. Always secure
the skibag with the lashing straps so that it
cannot move around.

boards can be transported in the ski/snow-
board bag.

Important safety notes G
WARNING
If the rear bench seat/rear seat and seat
backrest are not engaged they could fold for- wards, e.g. when braking suddenly or in the
event of an accident.
R The vehicle occupant would thereby be
pushed into the seat belt by the rear bench
seat/rear seat or by the seat backrest. The
seat belt cannot protect as intended and
could result in additional injury.
R Objects or loads in the boot/luggage com-
partment cannot be restrained by the seat
backrest.
This poses an increased risk of injury.
Before every trip, make sure that the seat
backrests and the rear bench seat/rear seat
are engaged before every trip.
! When folding the rear seat backrest for-
wards, ensure that there are no items lying on the seat cushions. These items could other-
wise be damaged or could themselves dam-
age the rear seats.
Observe the loading guidelines (Y page 305).
The outer and the centre rear seat backrests can be folded down separately to increase the lug-
gage compartment capacity. The division ratio is
40/20/40. 308

Important safety notes G
WARNING
When a load is transported on the roof, the
vehicle's centre of gravity rises and the han-
dling changes. If you exceed the maximum
roof load, the handling as well as steering and braking characteristics are severely affected.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always observe the maximum roof load and
adapt your driving style. You will find information on the maximum roof
load in the "Technical Data" section
(Y
page 379).
! Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
only roof carriers that have been tested and
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This
helps to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Position the load on the roof carrier 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 fitted you can:
R raise the sliding sunroof fully
R open the tailgate completely
An incorrectly secured roof carrier or roof load
may become detached from the vehicle. You
must therefore ensure that you observe the roof carrier manufacturer's installation instructions.
Attaching the roof carrier X
Carefully open covers :in the direction of
the arrow and fold upwards.
X Secure the roof carrier only to the anchorage
points under covers :.
X Observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions. Features
