Fitting roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid

the transverse bars approved for your
vehicle. Follow the instructions for fitting
and use supplied with the roof bars.
Some models come fitted with longitudinal
bars. These are purely aesthetic.
Transverse bars must not be fitted to
these longitudinal bars.
When fitting roof bars, use only the four
anchorage points located in the roof frame.
The points are masked by the vehicle doors
when closed.
Remove the protective covers, levering them
off with a screwdriver. Be careful not to scratch
the paint.
The roof bar mountings include a stud which
should be fitted to the opening in each
anchorage point.
Keep the protective covers safe so that they
can be refitted after removing the roof bars.
