Make sure you know the weight of the roof carrier system, the cross bars
and the roof load; weigh them if necessary. Never exceed the maximum au-
thorised roof load.
However, if you are using cross bars and a roof carrier system with a lower
load rating you will not be able to carry the maximum roof load. In this case,
you can only load the roof carrier to the weight limit listed in the fitting in-
structions.
Distributing a load
Uniformly distribute loads and secure them correctly ⇒
.
Check attachments.
Once the cross bars and roof carrier system have been fitted, check bolted
joins and the attachments after you have travelled a short distance and
then regularly.
WARNING
Exceeding the maximum authorised roof load can result in accidents and
considerable vehicle damage.
● Never exceed the indicated roof load, the authorised load on the
axles or the vehicle's authorised maximum load.
● Do not exceed the load capacity of the cross bars and roof carrier sys-
tem, even if the maximum roof load has not been exceeded.
● Always secure heavy items as far forward as possible and distribute
the vehicle load uniformly.
WARNING
If the load is loose and is not properly secured it could fall from the roof
carrier system and cause accidents and injury.
● Always use belts or retaining straps that are suitable and in a good
condition.
● Secure the load properly.
