Operating instructions
Before the drive always check the roof rack for correct position and
the load for proper securing and fastening.
If you need to mount accessories holders on the roof rack (bicycle
holder, ski holder, etc.), take out the sealing profile of the T-groove
and fix the accessories using T-bolts.
Advice. Using U-stirrups to mount the accessories
might cause damage to the surface finish of the roof
rack crosspiece. This fact is not a reason for a
complaint.
