Q TOWER USERS: Do not loosen your towers! If your crossbars are
too short, you could install longer crossbars, or slide your existing
bars off center. In any case, you must completely reinstall your
system using the instructions, and the measurements specific to your
vehicle. If you have lost your instructions, see your Yakima dealer.
SI VOUS AVEZ DES PIEDS Q: ne pas desserrer les pieds! Si les barres transversales
sont trop courtes, il est possible d’en poser des plus longues ou de décentrer la
barre déjà en place. D’une façon ou de l’autre, il faudra réinstaller le porte-bagages
complètement en suivant les instructions et les mesures spécifiques à votre véhicule.
Si vous n’avez plus les instructions d’origine, consulter votre dépositaire Yakima.
USUARIOS DE SOPORTES Q TOWERS: ¡No aflojen los soportes! Si los travesaños
son demasiado cortos, puede instalar otros más largos, o desplazar del centro los
que tiene. En todo caso tendrá que reinstalar completamente el sistema siguiendo
las instrucciones y las medidas específicas para su vehículo. Si ha perdido las
instrucciones, comuníquese con su concesionario Yakima.
