Before every journey and depending on the state of the roads
at regular intervals, check that the roof box is fi xed tightly to
the roof rack, the load is suffi ciently secure , the roof box is
locked and the keys have been removed from the locks.

If the loads haven’t been secured suffi ciently or if the roof
rack and roof box haven’t been fi xed properly, they might
work loose and cause serious accidents!

Please note the difference in height of your vehicle with the
box on and the different handling of the car (sensitive to side
winds, corner handling and brakes) if the roof rack and box
have been fi tted and especially if they have been loaded. No
additional loads must be attached to the outside of the box.

The admissible overall weight of the vehicle must not be ex-
ceeded. Also note the manufacturers instructions regarding
the maximum roof load.

Calculating the existing roof load:

Weight of roof rack

+ weight of roof box
+ weight of load

= existing load on roof

Weight of roof box:

Speed must be adapted to suit the load being transported,

the current conditions such as road conditions, road surface,
traffi c, wind etc. and naturally the valid speed restrictions
must also be taken into consideration. If there are no other
speed restrictions, we recommend a maximum speed limit
of 130 km/h.

The roof box should be carefully cleaned and cared for
during the winter months. Only use a solution of water and
washing-up liquid without alcohol, chlorine or ammonium
additives as these will damage the surface of the roof top
cargo box. Please do not use common cockpit sprays to
clean your roof top cargo box. Lubricate the locks with a
spray lubricant (make sure it does not get on the plastic
surface).

When using your roof box please note:

- The height of the vehicle can increase by up to 60 cm (de-

pending on the roof rack).

- Take care in the case of low underground car parks or low

entries, low branches etc..

- Wind noise can be created.

- When using an automatic car wash, the roof rack and the

roof box must be removed.

- In addition to these instructions, please also note the in-

structions in the fi tting instructions for the roof rack and
the operating instructions of the vehicle.

- To save energy and for the safety of other traffi c partici-

pants, the roof rack and roof box should be removed if not
in use.

- For your own safety, you should only use inspected (e.g.

GS inspected) roof racks which have also been approved
for your vehicle.

- To avoid increased lifting force, the roof box must be fi t-

ted as parallel to the road surface as possible (i.e. not at an
angle).

These instructions should be kept together with the ope-
rating instructions of your vehicle and always kept in the
vehicle.
The manufacturer’s guarantee and liability for damage to
the material or accidents are cancelled if changes are made
to the fi tting sets and the roof box and if other replace-
ment parts or accessories other than those specifi ed by the
manufacturer are used. Therefore please adhere to these
instructions in detail and only use the original parts included
with the roof top cargo box. If you should lose some parts or
if they wear out, please only use original replacement parts
which can be purchased from the dealer.

To ensure that replacement parts arrive quickly and to avoid
time intensive enquiries, please use the “BA-no.” when or-
dering replacement parts or making enquiries. This BA no.
is printed on a sticker in the top of the roof top cargo box.

To get replacement keys quickly if you have lost your keys
or they are faulty, please make a note of the key and lock
numbers.

The manufacturers are not liable for damage or accidents
caused by disregarding these instructions, changes made to
parts or the use of other parts than the manufacturer’s origi-
nal replacement parts.
