WARNING
The risk of an accident is increased by transporting heavy or bulky loads on
the roof, which affects the car's handling by shifting the centre of gravity
and increasing susceptibility to cross winds.
Always secure loads correctly with suitable and undamaged attach-
ment rope or straps.
Large, heavy, wide and flat loads negatively affect the vehicle aerody-
namics, centre of gravity and handling.
Avoid brusque manoeuvres and sudden braking.
Adjust your speed and driving style to visibility, road, traffic and
weather conditions.
Caution
Always remove the roof carrier system from the roof before entering a car
wash.
The height of your vehicle is changed by the installation of the roof carrier
and the load secured on it. Compare the vehicle height with the passage
height, for example in underground car parks or entering garage doors.
The roof antenna, the range of the panoramic sliding roof and the tailgate
should not be affected by the roof carrier system and the load being trans-
ported.
Take extra care not to let the tailgate strike the roof load when opening.
For the sake of the environment
The vehicle uses more fuel when the roof carrier system is fitted.

The mounts are the basis of a complete roof carrier system. Special fixtures
must then be added in order to safely transport luggage, bicycles, skis, surf
boards or boats on the roof. All these system components are available from
an Authorised Service Centre.
It will only be possible to install a basic support or roof carrier system if the
vehicle has a roof rail.
Securing the base supports and roof carrier system
Always secure the base supports and roof carrier system correctly.
The roof carrier system must always be installed exactly according to the
instructions provided.
The position holes are located on the inner side of the rail
