Operation
●
Cross bars, the roof carrier system and
the load secured on them should not int
er-
fere with the roof aerial or hamper the path
of the panoramic sun roof and the rear lid.
●
On opening the rear lid make sure that it
does not knock into the roof load.
For the sake of the environment
When cross bars and a roof carrier system
ar
e installed, the increased air resistance
means that the v
ehicle uses more fuel.

mum weight limit for the roof carrier which is
listed in the fitting instructions.
