!CAUTION
The weight of any load carried on the
roof, including the roof rack, must not
exceed the maximum permissible roof
load.
The roof rack supports must be ar-
ranged at equal distances.
The manufacturer recommends that
you have an anti-roll bar installed on
the front axle.
Warning G
High roof loads may cause a significant de-
terioration in handling, steering and braking
characteristics even if the maximum permis-
sible gross vehicle weight or axle loads have
not been exceeded.
Always ensure that loads are distributed
correctly and adapt your driving style in ac-
cordance with the load.
