Roof bars
Observe the fitting instructions and the
conditions of use given in the information
provided with the roof bars.
For safety reasons and to avoid damaging the
roof, it is essential to use transverse roof bars
that are approved for your vehicle.
Maximum load, distributed over the roof
bars, for a loading height not exceeding
40 cm: 70 kg.
This value is subject to change, please
check the maximum load stated in the
instructions provided with he roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars
and the fixings on the vehicle.
Please refer to national legislation so as
to meet the requirements on carrying
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
To install the roof bars, you must secure
them only to the four anchorage points in the
roof frame. These points are masked by the
vehicle's doors when closed.
The roof bar fixings include a stud that should
be introduced into the aperture at each
anchorage point.
Recommendations
F Distribute the load evenly, avoiding
overloading on one side.
F Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
F Anchor the load securely and fit a warning
flag if part of it overhangs the vehicle.
F Drive gently, as the vehicle will be more
liable to the effects of side winds (vehicle
stability may be affected).
F Remove the roof bars as soon as they are
no longer needed.
