even if the maximum authorised roof load  
has not been reached.  
Secure heavy items as far forward as  
possible and distribute the vehicle load  
uniformly.  
If you are using cross bars and a roof carrier  
with a lower weight rating, you will not be  
able to carry the maximum authorised roof  
load. In this case, do not exceed the maxi-  
mum weight limit for the roof carrier which is  
listed in the fitting instructions.  
WARNING  
If the load is loose or not secured, it could  
fall from the roof carrier system or cause  
accidents and injuries.  
Always use belts or retaining straps that  
are suitable and in a good condition.
