Securing the base supports and roof carrier system
The mounts are the basis of a complete roof carrier system. Special fixtures
must then be added in order to safely transport luggage, bicycles, skis, surf
boards or boats on the roof. All these system components are available from
an Authorised Service Centre.
It will only be possible to install a basic support or roof carrier system if the
vehicle has a roof rail.

Always secure the base supports and roof carrier system correctly.
The roof carrier system must always be installed exactly according to the
instructions provided.
The position holes are located on the inner side of the rail fig. 107.

used in an unsuitable manner, the entire system could break free causing
