Safety notes!
f Completely remove the Roof Transport System
before using an automatic car wash – risk of
damage to the vehicle!
f Do not exceed the maximum permitted pay-
load, the maximum permitted gross weight
and the maximum permitted axle loads.
Please see the chapter "WEIGHTS" on
Page 293.
f Distribute load evenly, with heavy items as low
as possible.
Items of luggage must not project beyond the
side of the load area.
f Fix and secure every item to the basic carrier
with a rope or lashing strap (do not use elastic
rubber tensioners).
f Before every journey, and at regular intervals
during long trips, check that Roof Transport
System and load are secure. Re-tighten if nec-
essary and secure additionally by locking.
When the Roof Transport System is loaded, the
maximum speed depends on the nature, size and
weight of the load being carried.
Driving, braking and steering behavior change due
to the higher center of gravity and the greater
wind-resistant area. You should adapt your driving
style appropriately.
Since fuel consumption and noise are increased
with the Roof Transport System fitted, it should
not remain on the vehicle if not in use.
