Practical information
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to
avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings
on the vehicle.
Fitting on longitudinal bars
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
Recommendations
The transverse bars must be fixed at the
markings located on the longitudinal bars.
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
► Replace the protective plug 2 into the
carrier 1.
Fitting directly to the roof
► Stow the towball in its bag to protect it from
knocks and dirt.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.
Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
transverse roof bars approved for your
vehicle.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Sunroof
Check that the load does not pass below
the roof bars so that it does not impede the
movements of the sunroof - risk of major
damage!
You must only attach the transverse bars to
the four fixing points located on the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle doors
when the doors are closed.
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be
inserted into the opening of each fixing point.
Maximum load distributed over the roof
bars, for a loading height not exceeding
40 cm: 70 kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
