WARNING
When transporting cargo the following the instructions must be adhered
to.
The transported items on the roof rack must always 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.
■
When transporting heavy objects or objects which take up a large area on
■
the roof rack system, the handling of the car may change as a result of the
displacement of the centre of gravity. The style of driving and speed must
therefore be adapted to the current circumstances.
Avoid abrupt and sudden driving/braking manoeuvres.
■
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total ve-
■
hicle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of acci-
dent!
CAUTION
On models fitted with a sliding/tilting roof, ensure that the sliding/tilting roof
■
does not strike any items of luggage transported on the roof when tilting.
Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened.
