Load distribution
►ꢀ Distribute the load in the trailer so that
the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance. The maximum load which
can be towed must be reduced by 10% per
1,000 metres of altitude.
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
To install the roof bars, you must secure them
only to the four fixing points on the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle's doors

Electric vehicles must never be equipped
with towing devices.
It is therefore not possible to tow a trailer or

As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load set out in the manual supplied
with the roof bars.
