Roof rack
1 Cross bar
2 Knurled-head screws
3 Clamping plates
4 Protective strips
The cross bars (1) should only be used as guard rails to
prevent luggage from sliding. They must only be
installed above the protective strips (4).
Installation:
1. Loosen knurled-head screws (2) and turn clamping
plates (3) to side.
2. Mount cross bar (1) on roof railings.
3. Turn clamping plates (3) back under roof railings
and tighten the knurled-head screws (2).
Important!
Do not use the pop-up feature of the sliding/pop-up roof
when positioning and/or placing luggage above it, to
prevent damage to the sliding/pop-up roof panel.
Never place luggage on cross bars only, but load it on
the protective strips, distribute it evenly over the entire
area and fasten it securely.
