Operation
Note
Always read the assembly instructions that
come with the cr
ossbars and the roof carri-
er system carefully and keep them in the
vehicle.
Loading the roof carrier system
The load can only be secured if the crossbars
and the r
oof carrier system are properly in-
stalled
.
Maximum authorised car
go on the roof
The maximum permissible roof load is 50 kg.
This figure comes from the combined weight
of the roof carrier, the cross bars and the load
itself on the roof
.
Al
ways 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
Distribute loads uniformly and secure them
correctly
.
Check att
achments
Once the cross bars and roof carrier system
have been installed, check the bolted con-
nections and attachments after a short jour-
ney and subsequently with a certain frequen-
cy.
WARNING
Ne
ver exceed the maximum authorised
load on the roof and on the axles or the ve-
hicle's maximum authorised weight.
Never exceed the load capacity of the
cross bars and the roof carrier system,
even if the maximum authorised roof load
has not been reached.
Secure heavy items as far forward as
possible and distribute the vehicle load
uniformly.
WARNING
If the load is loose or not secured, it could
f
all from the roof carrier system or cause
accidents and injuries.
Always use belts or retaining straps that
are suitable and in a good condition.
Storage compartment
Intr
oduction
Use the storage compartments only for small
or light it
ems.
WARNING
Objects inside the vehicle that are not se-
cur
ed could be thrown across the cabin in
the event of sudden braking or manoeu-
vring. This may cause severe injuries as
well as loss of control of the vehicle.
Do not carry animals or sharp, hard or
heavy items in open storage compartments
of the vehicle, on the dashboard or on the
cover behind the rear seats, or inside
pieces of clothing or bags inside the vehi-
cle.
Keep the storage compartments closed
at all times while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell could diffi-
cult the use of the pedal
s. This may cause
loss of control of the vehicle and increases
the risk of severe injuries.
Make sure that nothing prevents you from
using the pedals at any time.
Always secure the mat in the footwell.
Never place other mats or other type of
covers on the factory-fitted mat.
