Roof carrier

Introduction to the topic
Some vehicle models are designed for fitting
a roof carrier.
Roof carriers can be used to transport bulky
items on the roof of the vehicle.
If you are unsure whether a roof carrier can
be fitted on your vehicle, please contact
a qualified workshop. Volkswagen recom-
mends using a Volkswagen dealership for this
purpose.
Only roof carriers that have been approved by
Volkswagen for the vehicle must be used.
If the vehicle is not approved for use with
a roof carrier, do not use or retrofit a roof
carrier.
WARNING
When transporting heavy or bulky objects
on the roof carrier, the vehicle's handling
will change due to a shift in the centre of
gravity and an increased susceptibility to
crosswinds.
·
Always secure loads properly using suit-
able and undamaged lashing, retaining
or securing straps.
·
Cargo that is large, heavy, bulky, long or
flat will have a negative effect on the
vehicle aerodynamics, centre of gravity
and overall handling.
