Roof r r ack*
When loads are to be carried on the roof,
the following should be noted:
•
As the rain channels are moulded into
the roof for streamlining reasons, the nor-
mal type of roof rack cannot be used. To
avoid risks we advise that only the cross
bars provided by the factory are used.
•
These cross bars are the basis for a
complete roof load carrying system. For
safety reasons when carrying luggage,
bicycles, surf boards, skis and boats, the
appropriate special
required.
•
The roof rack system must be installed
according to the enclosed instructions.
Open the plastic covers to secure the feet
of the rack to the roof.
When fitting the feet to the roof make sure
they fit exactly into the special grooves
and properly attach to the appropriate
part of the groove.
