Starting and driving
Load carriers' location – roof
rails
Make sure that the load carriers are placed
the right way round on the roof rails. The load
carriers can be placed anywhere along the
roof rail.
When driving without a roof load, the front
load carrier should be positioned about
50 mm in front of the centre roof mounting
and the rear load carrier positioned about
35 mm in front of the rear roof mounting (illus-
trated above). This is to keep wind noise to a
minimum.
