Practical information
The roof bar fixings include a lug to be fitted
into the hole at each fixing point.
Maximum load distributed over the roof
bars, for a
loading height not exceeding
40
cm: 75 kg.
As this value may change, please verify
the maximum load set out in the manual
supplied with the roof bars.
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.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects which are longer than
the vehicle.
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 securely.
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.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.
To install the roof bars, you must secure them
only to the four fixing points on the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle's
doors when they are closed.
Installation tips
F To fit the chains during a journey, stop the
vehicle on a
flat surface on the side of the
road.
F Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
F
Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F Move off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 31
mph
(50
km/h).
F
Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a
level and dry surface.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or
its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for the
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars.
