Roof bars

For safety reasons, and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use cross roof bars approved for the vehicle.

Follow the fitting instructions and conditions of use given in the leaflet supplied with the roof bars.

Maximum load distributed across the cross roof bars, for a load height not exceeding 40 cm (except bike carriers): 75 kg.

As this value may change, check the maximum load stated in the leaflet supplied with the roof bars.

If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the vehicle's speed to the road profile, so as not to damage the roof bars or their fixings on the vehicle.

Refer to national legislation to comply with the regulations for transporting items longer than the vehicle.

Sunroof

Do not open the sunroof when using the roof bars - Risk of serious damage!

Recommendations

Distribute the load evenly, avoiding overloading one side.

Place the heaviest load as close as possible to the roof.

Secure the load firmly.

Drive smoothly: sensitivity to crosswinds is increased and the vehicle's stability may be affected.

Check the roof bars regularly for security and correct tightening, at least before each journey.

Remove the roof bars as soon as transport is complete.

Direct fitting to roof

The cross bars must be fixed only to the four anchor points located on the roof frame. These points are hidden by the vehicle doors when they are closed.

The roof bar fixings have a pin that must be inserted into the hole of each anchor point.

Fitting on longitudinal bars

The cross bars must be fixed at the marks located on the longitudinal bars.
