As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your
vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Lash the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and the stability of the vehicle may be
affected.
On a long journey, check the security of
the load at every stop.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.Bonnet
The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents opening of the bonnet when
the left-hand front door is shut.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the stay with

area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, etc.) be limited.Opening
F Open the left-hand front door.

could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.
You can also use the compressor, without
injecting sealant, to check and occasionally
adjust the tyre pressures.
