General
Installation is only possible if the vehicle is equip‐
ped with a roof strip with flaps.

The mounting points are located on the roof strip
above the doors.

rack.
Magnetic roof luggage racks
Magnetic roof luggage racks cannot be used.
Loads
A loaded roof rack alters the vehicle's road be‐
haviour and steering response by shifting its cen‐
tre of gravity.
When loading and driving, bear the following in
mind:
▷
Do not exceed the permitted roof and axle
loads or the permitted gross weight.
▷
Distribute the roof load evenly.
▷
The roof load must not be spread over a large
area.
▷
Place heavy items of luggage at the bottom.
▷
Securely fasten the luggage, for example with
tensioning straps.
▷
Do not allow objects to protrude into the
swing range of the boot lid.
▷
Drive cautiously and avoid sudden accelera‐
tion, braking or cornering.
Driving on a racing track
The higher mechanical and thermal loads in‐
volved in driving on racing tracks lead to in‐
creased wear. This wear is not covered by the
warranty. The vehicle is not conceived for use in
motor sports competitions.
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends
special sport tyres, known as high-performance
tyres, that have been optimised for use on racing
tracks in dry conditions. To find out more infor‐
mation about sport tyres, ask a Service Partner of
the manufacturer or another qualified Service
Partner or a specialist workshop.
Before and after driving on a racing track, have
the vehicle checked at a Service Partner of the
manufacturer or another qualified Service Partner
or a specialist workshop.
