protective plug tted to the carrier.

Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
transverse roof bars approved for your
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on tting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Maximum load distributed over the
transverse roof bars, for a loading height
not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier):
80 kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the prole of the road to
avoid damaging the roof bars and the xings
on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
Fitting on longitudinal bars
The transverse bars must be xed at the
markings located on the longitudinal bars.
Fitting directly to the roof
You must only attach the transverse bars to
the four xing points located on the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle doors
when the doors are closed.
The roof bar xings have a stud which must be
inserted into the opening of each xing point.
Recommendations
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.
Secure the load rmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the eects of side winds and its
stability may be aected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.
