Risk of accident
The 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. For example, the additional weight on
the roof of the vehicle can have a detrimental effect on
braking, cornering and acceleration.
Always adapt your driving style to the prevailing road,
traffic and weather conditions, and drive with particular
care when the carrier bars are loaded.
Always drive with extreme caution when driving with
the basic carrier system mounted on the vehicle, even
if it is not loaded.
Never exceed the maximum roof load or the maximum per-
missible gross weight for your vehicle, even when you are
using roof attachments (ski rack, bicycle carrier, etc.). Other-
wise, the basic carrier system, mounted accessories and the
objects attached to them could become detached from the
vehicle, possibly injuring you and other persons and/or cau-
sing damage to property, including damage to your vehicle.

General safety notes
Please observe the respective installation
instructions when mounting roof attachments
(bicycle rack, roof box, etc.).
Bear in mind that the vehicle's dimensions change
due to the mounted basic carrier system.
For safety reasons and to economize on fuel, the
basic carrier bars should be removed from the
vehicle when they are not in use.
Do not put the car through an automatic car wash
with the basic carrier bars mounted.
Important
Objects attached to the basic carrier system's
accessories must not be allowed to restrict the
movement of the sliding roof. The sliding roof
could otherwise be damaged when it is raised.
General instruction for use
Spray the locks on the locking handles with a
universal lubricating spray at regular intervals.
Installation
These installation instructions show the front basic
carrier bar being mounted. Follow the same
procedure to mount the rear basic carrier bar.
We recommend that you enlist the help of a second
person when mounting the basic carrier bar.
1. Open the covers completely.
Note
On C-Class vehicles (model series W 204) equipped
with the optional sliding/pop-up roof (Code 413), the
covers open toward the middle of the vehicle.
