Safety notes!
f Completely remove the roof transport system
before using an automatic car wash – risk
of damage to the vehicle!
f Do not exceed the maximum permitted
payload of 75 kg, the maximum permitted
gross weight and the maximum permitted axle
loads.
Please observe the chapter "WEIGHTS"
on Page 250.
f Distribute load evenly, with heavy items as low
as possible.
Items of luggage must not project beyond the
side of the load area.
f Fix and secure every item to the basic carrier
with a rope or lashing strap (do not use elastic
rubber tensioners).
f Before every journey, and at regular intervals
during long trips, check that Roof Transport
System and load are secure. Re-tighten if
necessary and secure additionally by locking.
When the Roof Transport System is loaded, the
maximum speed depends on the nature, size and
weight of the load being carried.
f But never drive faster than 140 km/h
(90 mph).
f With the basic carrier fitted and no load, do
not exceed a maximum speed of 180 km/h
(110 mph).
Driving, braking and steering behaviour change
due to the higher centre of gravity and the greater
wind-resistant area. You should adapt your driving
style appropriately.
Since fuel consumption and noise are increased
with the roof transport system fitted, it should not
remain on the vehicle if not in use.
