oof carrier must be proper-
ly secured. Risk of accident!
●
Always secure the load using retaining
straps that are in good condition.
●
Distribute the load evenly.
●
When transporting heavy or large objects
on the roof, any change in normal vehicle be-
haviour due to a change in the centre of gravi-
ty or increased wind resistance must be taken
into account. Risk of accident! For this rea-
son, speed and driving style must be adjus-
ted for the situation.
●
Avoid sudden manoeuvres and braking.
●
Adjust your driving style to suit visibility,
the weather and road and traffic conditions.

Where roof carriers from other systems are
used or where they are not fitted properly,
any damage caused to the vehicle will not be
covered by the warranty. Therefore, carefully
follow the Instruction Manual for installation
of the roof carrier.
●
Remember that
the rear lid must not hit the
roof load.
●
The total height of the vehicle increases ac-
cording to the roof load. Compare the height
of the vehicle with the heights of bridges or
other underpasses, for example, the height
of the garage door.
●
Do not forget to remove the roof carrier be-
fore entering an automatic carwash.
●
Take into account that the load must not
damage the aerial located on the roof.
For the sake of the environment
If aerodynamic resistance increases, fuel con-
sumption wi
ll also increase.
