Operation
Maximum authorised cargo on the roof
The maximum permissibl
e roof load 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
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.
Ne
ver 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 cl
othing 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.
Ensure that no objects can fall into the
driver's footwell while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
When the vehicle is stationary, remove
the objects in the footwell.
WARNING
If you leave lighters inside the vehicle, they
might be damaged or lit inadv
ertently. This
could lead to severe burns and damage to
the vehicle.
Before moving a seat, make sure there
are no lighters in the moving part area of
the vehicle.
