Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Roof carrier
Important safety notes
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
vehicle without the roof loaded.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
only use 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 installed you can:
• raise the sliding sunroof fully
• open the tailgate fully
