Around the pedal area there should not be any foot mats or other
additional floor covering materials:
• In the case of defects on the brake system, a greater pedal travel
may be necessary.
• It should always be possible to depress the clutch and
accelerator pedals fully.
• All pedals must be able to return, unhindered, to their rest
positions.
For these reasons, the only foot mats which may be used are those
which leave the pedal area completely free and which are
prevented from slipping.

Description
When loads are to be carried on the roof, the following should be
noted:
• As the rain channels are moulded into the roof for streamlining
reasons, the normal type of roof rack cannot be used. To avoid
risks we advise that only the cross bars provided by the factory are
used.
• These cross bars are the basis for a complete roof load carrying
system. For safety reasons when carrying luggage, bicycles,
surfboards, skis and boats, the appropriate special adapters are
required.

• On vehicles with roof rails, the base carriers can be attached to
the rail. The distance between the carriers should however be
matched to the articles to be transported. Also, on vehicles with a
sliding/tilting roof* the front carrier should not be attached in the
region of the rear edge of the tilting roof.
To adapt the bars
1)to the size of the objects to be carried, proceed
as follows:

2 – Push dinamometrickey⇒ fig. 117Cinto its specific slot.
3 – To loosen turn key
⇒ fig. 117Cto the left, and move slide the
bar1).
4 – To tighten, turn key
⇒ fig. 117Cto the right, till a torque of
9 Nm is achieved, as shown on the key.
• Distribute the load evenly. Each cross bar may carry 50 kg if
loaded uniformly over the full length. The permissible roof load
(including the carrier system) of 75 kg and the permissible gross
vehicle weight must not be exceeded
⇒"Technical Data" chapter.
• When carrying heavy or large objects on the roof, bear in mind
that the vehicle handling changes due to the displacement of the
centre of gravity and the increased area exposed to the wind.
Driving style and speed must be adapted to allow for this.
