Ground clearance
NOTICE
If the ground clearance is insufficient, e.g.,
curbs or underground garage entrances,
contact with vehicle parts, e.g., spoiler,
and the underbody may occur. There is a
risk of damage to property, among other
potential damage. Ensure that there is suf-
ficient ground clearance available.
Roof-mounted luggage rack
General information
Installation only possible with roof rack.
Roof racks are available as special accesso-
ries.
Mounting
Follow the installation instructions of the
roof rack.
Loading
Because roof-mounted luggage racks raise
the vehicle's center of gravity when loaded,
they have a major effect on vehicle handling
and steering response.
Therefore, note the following when loading
and driving:
– Do not exceed the approved roof/axle
loads and the approved gross vehicle
weight.
– Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for tilting and opening the glass
sunroof.
– 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 in-
stance using ratchet straps.
– Do not let objects project into the open-
ing path of the tailgate.
– Drive cautiously and avoid sudden ac-
celeration and braking maneuvers. Take
corners gently.

Warning
The vehicle is not designed for use in M
Sport or motor sport type competition.
There is a risk of accident. Do not use the
vehicle for M Sport or motor sport type
competitions.
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
vehicle and may affect your warranty cover-
age. See “New Vehicle Limited Warranty”
for more details.
