Safety information
Warning
Light but consistent brake pressure can
lead to high temperatures, brakes wearing
out and possibly even brake failure. There
is a risk of accident. Avoid placing exces-
sive stress on the brake system.
Warning
In idle state, in GREEN Mode or with
drive-ready state switched off, safety-rele-
vant functions, for instance engine brak-
ing effect, braking force boost, and steer-
ing assistance, are restricted or not
available at all. There is a risk of accident.
Do not drive in idle state, in GREEN Mode
or with drive-ready state switched off.
Brake disc corrosion
Corrosion on the brake discs and contami-
nation on the brake pads are increased by
the following circumstances:
– Low mileage.
– Extended periods when the vehicle is
not used at all.
– Infrequent use of the brakes.
– Aggressive, acidic, or alkaline cleaning
agents.
Corrosion buildup on the brake discs will
cause a pulsating effect on the brakes in
their response - generally this cannot be
corrected.
Condensation water under the
parked vehicle
When using the automatic climate control,
condensation water develops and collects
underneath the vehicle.
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. Ensure that
there is sufficient ground clearance availa-
ble.
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.
