Safety instructions

	NOTE
Under no circumstances must the maximum permitted roof load and total weight of the car be exceeded (see the car’s owner’s manual). The maximum permitted roof load is based on the total of the load carriers’ weight, accessories, and load.

	NOTE
Distribute the load evenly over the loading surface, with as low a centre of gravity as possible, and secure it so that it cannot come loose.

	NOTE
Do not secure load carriers at the plastic feet of the rails.

	NOTE
Check the position and securement of the load at regular intervals.

	NOTE
Check the screw joints and mountings after a short distance. If necessary, tighten to the torque prescribed. Check at regular intervals.

	NOTE
The driving characteristics and the vehicle’s sensitivity to side winds are changed by loads on the roof. Adapt the speed to the vehicle’s load (max. 130 km/h/80 mph). The applicable speed limits and other traffic regulations must always be observed.

	NOTE
For the safety of other road users and to save energy, the load carriers should be removed when not in use.
