Gap X: Control value 800 mm +/-5 mm

3.1.4

Decide which side (driver’s or passenger’s side) you want to fit the add-on modules
(roof box, bicycle rack, etc.) on and close the cap on the carrier on the opposite
side.
This secures the carrier and prevents it from moving lengthways.

WARNING
Improper loading and fitting of the roof transport system or add-on modules
•

Danger of objects falling down

•

Danger of objects sticking out



Load the roof transport system or add-on modules in such a way that the load does not project over the
sides of the roof area.



Select the distances between several add-on modules mounted next to each other so that the transported
items cannot bump against each other during the trip.



Secure load sufficiently to prevent it from shifting during the trip.



Check the roof transport system or add-on modules regularly before each trip and during an extended
trips to make sure they are seated correctly and securely on the vehicle.
CAUTION
Incorrect fitting, use or care of the bicycle rack
•

Risk of damage to the roof of the vehicle, rear lid and/or bicycle rack



Position the bicycle in the bicycle rack leaving the same amount of space at front and rear. Make sure
that the centre of gravity of the load is between both roof racks.



Remove loose parts on the bicycle, e.g. drinking bottles, child seats, saddlebags, etc., before fitting
the bicycle.



Do NOT cover the bicycle with tarpaulins or protective covers.



Because bicycles can be difficult to handle, always fit/remove the bicycle on the bicycle rack with the
help of another person.



For high vehicles, use a small ladder or work platform (step) if necessary.



Make sure there is a sufficient gap between the tension straps and the roof of the vehicle.



Remove the bicycle rack from the roof of the vehicle before washing the vehicle in an automatic car
wash.



Bear in mind the new overall vehicle height when driving through tunnels or under low branches and
when driving into garages and multi-storey parking garages.



Clean the bicycle rack using soapy water only (without alcohol, chlorine or ammonia additives); other
substances can attack and damage the surface.



Do not stick stickers on the bicycle rack. The adhesive film can dissolve the surface of the bicycle
rack or cause tension cracks.



Spray the locks on the bicycle rack with commercially available spray lubricant from time to time.
The lubricant must not come into contact with the plastic surface of the bicycle rack.



When opening the rear lid for the first time, make sure there is sufficient space between the rear lid
and the fitted bicycle rack/bicycle. Move the bicycle rack/bicycle forward in direction of travel if
necessary.

Pre-fit the bicycle rack on the roof transport system
4.1

Open the cap of the roof transport system (front/rear) on one side ( Owner’s Manual,
section on 'Roof Transport System') and fit the bicycle rack on the roof transport system.
