Loading and storing Loading instructions G Warning! Always fasten items being carried as securely as possible using cargo tie-down rings and fastening materials appropriate for the weight and size of the load. In an accident, during hard braking or sudden maneuvers, loose items will be thrown around inside the vehicle and can cause injury to vehicle occupants unless the items are securely fastened in the vehicle. To help avoid personal injury during a collision or sudden maneuver, exercise care when transporting cargo. Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the seat backrests. The cargo compartment is the preferred place to carry objects. Always use cargo tie- down rings, and if so equipped, always use the cargo net when transporting cargo. Never drive vehicle with the tailgate open. Deadly carbon monoxide (CO) gases may enter vehicle interior resulting in unconsciousness and death.

Load distribution

The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) which is the weight of the vehicle including fuel, tools, spare wheel, installed accessories, passengers and luggage/cargo must never exceed the load limit and the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) for your vehicle as specified on the placard located on the driver’s door B-pillar (Y page 275). In addition, the load must be distributed in such a way so that the weight on each axle 227

Loading and storing never exceeds the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for the front and rear axle. The GVWR and GAWR for your vehicle are indicated on the certification label located on the driver’s door B-pillar (Y page 275). For more information, see “Tire and Loading Information” (Y page 275). The handling characteristics of a fully loaded vehicle depend greatly on the load distribution. It is therefore recommended to load the vehicle according to the illustration shown, with the heaviest items being placed towards the front of the vehicle. Please pay attention to and comply with the following instructions when loading the vehicle and transporting cargo: RAlways place items being carried against front or rear seat backrests, and fasten them as securely as possible.

RThe heaviest portion of the cargo should always be kept as low as possible against front or rear seat backrests.

For additional safety when transporting cargo while the rear seats are unoccupied, fasten the outer seat belts crosswise into the opposite side buckles.

228

i The cargo compartment is the preferred place to carry objects. The expanded cargo volume (Y page 235) should only be used for items which do not fit in the cargo compartment alone.

Carriers For information about further carriers, contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. G Warning! Only use carriers when the crossbars have been completely mounted. The left and right roof rails are only stabilized by means of the crossbars mounted. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Otherwise, an improperly attached carrier or its load could become detached from the vehicle. Do not exceed the maximum roof load of 198 lb (90 kg). Take into consideration that when the roof is loaded, the handling characteristics are different from those when operating the vehicles without a roof loaded. Make sure Ryou can open the tailgate completely Ryou can raise the tilt/sliding sunroof at the

rear completely

(Only in connection with corresponding adapter.)

For more information on Mercedes-Benz accessories, contact your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Roof rails

Crossbars The maximum roof load of any add-on roof equipment is reduced by the unladen weight of the crossbars (13.7 Ibs/6.2 kg). Four keys and an Allen wrench required for installing and removing are included with the crossbars. i The keys and the Allen wrench are stored

with the vehicle tool kit under the cargo compartment floor (Y page 326).

i Spare parts are available as Mercedes-

Benz accessories. Contact your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Installing the crossbars G Warning! Please follow these installation instructions carefully. Caution should be exercised to avoid damage to the vehicle while installing the crossbars. Also, be careful not to injure yourself or others while installing and adjusting the crossbars or loading items on them. Each individual step of the installation instructions, the warning notices, the general safety precautions and the

Controls in detail

Loading and storing

instructions for use must be followed exactly. If the crossbars are not mounted correctly, they and the objects attached to them could come loose from your vehicle and cause an accident, thereby injuring you and other persons and/or causing damage to property, including damage to your vehicle. G Warning! Every time the crossbars are mounted, before you set off on a journey and periodically during longer journeys, check all the screws on the crossbars to make sure that they are secure, and tighten them if necessary. Repeat these checks at regular intervals as road-surface conditions dictate, and at least after every 1500 miles (2500 km) of continuous use. Otherwise, the crossbars, mounted accessories and the objects attached to them could come loose from the vehicle causing an accident, thereby injuring you and other persons and/or causing damage to property, including damage to your vehicle. Do not use lubricant on the screws of the crossbars. The screws could work loose and the crossbars could become detached

Controls in detail

Loading and storing from your vehicle, together with the objects attached to them causing an accident, thereby injuring you and other persons and/or causing damage to property, including damage to your vehicle. G Warning! Only install the crossbars at the exact locations designated on the roof rails. The designated locations for the front crossbars are between the markings engraved on the inside of the roof rails. The designated locations for the rear crossbars are between the gaps on the roof rails. Otherwise, the crossbars, mounted accessories and the objects attached to them could come loose from the vehicle causing an accident, thereby injuring you and other persons and/or causing damage to property, including damage to your vehicle. G Warning! A roof load creates a greater surface area exposed to the wind and causes the vehicle to have a higher center of gravity, thereby changing the vehicle’s driving characteristics. Accordingly, the additional weight on the roof of the vehicle can have

230

a detrimental effect on braking, cornering and acceleration. Never exceed the maximum permissible roof load or the maximum permissible vehicle weight, even when accessories for the crossbars (e.g. ski racks, bicycle racks, etc.) are being used. Overloading the vehicle could result in an accident. When calculating the weight placed on the roof please make sure to add the weight of the crossbars, accessory racks and the load carried together. Always adapt your driving style to the road, traffic and weather conditions, and drive with added caution when the roof is loaded. Always drive with extreme care when the carrier is loaded. Take into consideration that when the carrier is loaded, the handling characteristics are different from those when operating the vehicle without a carrier loaded. G Warning! Do not use accessories which have not been approved by Mercedes-Benz for use in conjunction with these crossbars. If non- approved accessories are used, these accessories and/or the objects attached to

them could come loose from the vehicle, thereby injuring you and other persons and/or causing damage to property, including damage to your vehicle.

! Have a second person assist you when installing the crossbars. The vehicle could otherwise be damaged.

! Objects attached to the crossbar

system’s accessories must not be allowed to restrict the movement of the tilt/sliding sunroof. The tilt/sliding sunroof could otherwise be damaged when it is raised.

Gate operator/Canadian programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission which may not be long enough for the integrated signal transmitter to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or if you are having difficulties programming a gate operator (regardless of where you live) by using the programming procedures, replace step 4 with the following: X Step 4: Press and hold the signal

transmitter button (2, 3 or 4). Do not release this button until it has been successfully trained.

X While still holding down the signal

transmitter button (2, 3 or 4), “cycle” your hand-held remote control button 6
as follows: Press and hold button 6 for 2 seconds, then release it for 2 seconds, and again press and hold it for 2 seconds. Repeat this sequence on the hand-held

remote control until the frequency signal has been learned. Upon successful training, indicator lamp 1 will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds.

X Proceed with programming step 5 and

step 6 to complete.

i Upon completion of programming the

integrated remote control, make sure you retain the hand-held remote control that came with the garage door opener, gate operator or other device. You may need it for use in other vehicles, for future programming of an integrated remote control, or simply for continued use as a hand-held remote control to operate the respective device in other situations.
