To use them, proceed as follows:
– hooks are arranged in a special run-
ner along the roof of the vehicle;
– attach the roof rack with the brack-
ets Aplaced at the rack inside base
(2 for each bar). Absolutely prevent
shoes, ties and loose gar-
ments from coming into
contact with moving parts: they
could become entangled and
cause body harm.
If the engine is hot, be
very careful when you put
your hands under the

self. Remember that while the
engine is hot, the electric fan can
start up and cause injury. Wait
for the engine to cool.

bonnet shall always be
perfectly closed when
travelling. Always check for prop-
er bonnet locking. If the bonnet
is left inadvertently open, stop
the car immediately and close
the bonnet.Always make sure the
bonnet is closed properly
so as to prevent it from
opening while travelling.

is not shut properly, the multifunction
