areas of the head light lenses must be cov­
ered with waterproof adhesive covers that
prevent light from passing through. For

Wi th the lights switched on, the dynamic cor ­
ner ing light adapts to driving on curves. This
is dependent upon t he vehicle speed and
steering ang le. This provides better lighting
through the curve. The system operates in a
speed range from approximate ly 6 mph
(10 km/h) to 68 mph (110 km/h) .
The static cornering light switches on at
speeds of up to approximately 25 mph

A WARNING
Check all the roof rack connections each
time before each trip and re-tighten or re­
adjust if necessary. If you are going to be
driving or rough terrain, you will have to
check the attachments more often.
If you
do not do this, the risk of your luggage
coming loose and falling off is greater.
The pins and the roof rack claws must en­ gage securely into the holes and into the
edge of the roof railing when you tighten
the screws!

Roof load
The cargo on the roof must be securely at­
tached. Handling characteristics change
when cargo is transported.
The permissible roof load for your vehicle is
165 lbs (75 kg). The roof load is the total of
the weight of the roof rack, the attachments
and the cargo you are carrying.
A WARNING
-The cargo must be securely attached on
the roof rack, otherwise you risk an acci­
dent.
- Distribute the load as evenly as possible
and do not make the roof rack wider than
the maximum permitted.
- You must under no circumstances exceed
the permissible roof load, the permissi­ ble axle loads and the permissible overall
weight of your vehicle - risk of an acci­
dent.
- Mount the attachments to the roof rack
only after you have placed the roof rack
on the vehicle.
- Consider that when transporting heavy
objects or one with a large surface, the
handling characteristics change due to
shift in the center of gravity or the great­
er surface exposed to the wind. So adapt
your driving and your speed to prevailing
conditions. We recommend that you do not drive faster than 80 mph (130 km/
h).
- Mounting a roof rack changes the height
of your vehicle . Keep this in mind when
parking your vehicle in your garage, or
when driving through a tunnel or under
an overpass.

CD Note
-Make sure the rear lid does not hit the
cargo on the roof rack when you open it.
On vehicles with automatic rear lid/trunk
lid operation" you may have to adjust the
open position of the rear lid
c::> page 44.
-Remove the roof rack and attachment
before taking your vehicle through an au­
tomatic car wash to avoid damage.
@ For the sake of the environment
As a result of the increased wind resist­
ance created by a roof rack, your vehicle is
using fuel unnecessarily. So remove the
roof rack after using it.
