WARNING
Incorrect attachment and use of the cross-

the whole system to detach from the roof
and cause an accident and injuries.
●
Always take the manufacturer assembly
instructions into account.
●
Check threaded joints and attachments
travelling and if necessary tighten them af-
ter you have travelled a short distance.
When making long trips, check the threa-
ded joints whenever you stop for a rest.

Do not modify or repair the crossbars or
roof carrier system.

Always read the assembly instructions that
come with the crossbars and the r

Maximum authorised cargo on the roof
The maximum authorised car
go permitt
ed for
transporting on the roof is 75 kg. This figure
comes from the combined weight of the roof
carrier, the cross bars and the load itself on
the roof

.
Al
w
ays check the weight of the roof carrier
system, the cross bars and the weight of the
load to be transported and weigh them if
necessary. Never exceed the maximum au-
thorised roof load.
If you are using cross bars and a roof carrier
with a lower weight rating, you will not be
able to carry the maximum authorised roof
load. In this case, do not exceed the maxi-
mum weight limit for the roof carrier which is
listed in the fitting instructions.
Distributing a load

correctly
