WARNING Risk of inju rydue tothe maxi‐
mum roof load being exceeded
When you place a load on thero of as well as
all outer and inner attachments, theve hicle's
center of gr avity will rise and thefa miliar driv‐
ing characteristics as well as thesteering and
braking characteristics will change. When
driving around bends, theve hicle will tilt
more heavily and may react more sluggishly
to steering mo vements.
If yo uexc eed the maximum roof load, the
driving characteristics, as well as thesteering
and braking, will be greatly impaired. #
Neverexc eed the maximum roof load
and adjust your driving style. &
WARNING Danger of accident due to
une ven loading
If yo u load theve hicle une venly, the handling
ch aracteristics as well as thesteering‑ and
braking characteristics can be heavily
impaired. #
Load theve hicle evenly. #
Secu rethe load against sliding. The driving, braking and
steering characteristics
of theve hicle change with the type of load, the
we ight and the center of gr avity of the load.
* NO
TERisk of accident if the maximum
permitted roof load is exceeded. If

Ensure that thewe ight of thero of lug‐

The roof rack 's supporting feet must be
