Roof carrier
Introduction
The vehicle roof has been designed to opti-
mise aerodynamics. F
or this reason, cross
bars or conventional roof carrier systems
cannot be secured to the roof water drains.
As the roof water drains are integrated in the
roof to reduce air resistance, only CUPRA-
approved cross bars and roof carrier systems
can be used.
Cases in which cross bars and the roof car-
rier system should be disassembled.
●
When they are not used.
●
When the vehicle is washed in a car wash.
●
When the vehicle height exceeds the max-
imum height, for e
xample, in some garages.
WARNING
●
Always secure the load properly using
belts or retaining straps that are suitable
and in a good condition.
●
Bulky, heavy, long or flat loads have a
negative effect on aerodynamics, the cen-
tre of gravity and driving performance.
●
Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
●
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
