Installation Steps

Step 1: Position Foot Packs on Vehicle

Identify the correct placement for the four foot packs on the vehicle's roof, corresponding to the Front Left (FL), Front Right (FR), Rear Left (RL), and Rear Right (RR) positions. Ensure the correct adapter parts (226, 227, 228) are associated with each foot pack.

The diagram shows a top-down view of the car roof, indicating where each of the four foot packs (002) should be mounted. Specific labels (FL, FR, RL, RR) denote the precise location for each foot pack assembly.

Step 2: Attach Foot Packs to Fixpoints

Begin attaching the foot packs to the vehicle's fixpoint mounting system. This involves aligning the foot pack components with the car's designated mounting points.

This step illustrates the process of connecting the foot pack (002) to the vehicle's fixpoint. It shows how the adapter parts and screws are used to secure the foot pack onto the car's roof structure.

Step 3: Initial Securing of Foot Packs

Tighten the screws that secure the foot packs to the vehicle's fixpoints. Use a torque wrench to ensure a consistent and safe fit.

The diagram shows a screw being inserted and tightened to a torque of 8 Nm (Newton-meters). This is done for all four foot pack attachments.

Step 4: Mount Roof Bar to Foot Pack

Slide the roof bar into the designated slot on the foot pack. Ensure the bar is fully seated.

The diagram depicts the roof bar being inserted into the foot pack. The "click" sound is indicated, signifying that the bar has properly engaged with the foot pack mechanism.

Step 5: Final Tightening of Foot Pack

Secure the roof bar to the foot pack by tightening the screws. This step ensures the bar is firmly attached.

The diagram shows the final screws being tightened to a torque of 4 Nm (Newton-meters). The "click" sound is again indicated, confirming secure attachment.

Step 6: Lock and Verify Installation

Close and lock the foot pack covers to secure the installation. Perform a final check to ensure all components are properly locked and the roof rack system is stable.

The diagram illustrates closing and locking the foot pack cover. A "click" confirms the lock is engaged, and a checkmark icon (✔️) indicates that the installation should be verified for security. The "2 Instructions" icon suggests referring to the specific foot pack manual for more details.

General Information and Tips

? Always refer to the specific instructions provided with your foot pack for detailed information.

✔️ Double-check all connections and ensure the roof rack system is securely fastened before driving.

⚠️ Adhere to the specified load limits and speed restrictions for safe operation.
