Roof rack system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Attachment points for roof bars
Roof load
WARNING
The transported items on the roof rack must be securely attached – risk of
■
accident!
Always secure the load with appropriate and undamaged lashing straps or
■
tensioning straps.
Distribute the load evenly over the roof rack system.
■
Transporting heavy or large objects on the roof rack alters the handling
■
properties of the vehicle due to the displacement of the centre of gravity or
the increased wind exposure area – risk of accident! The style of driving and
speed must therefore be adapted to the current circumstances.
Avoid abrupt and sudden driving/braking manoeuvres.
■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic
■
conditions.
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total vehi-
■
cle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of accident!
