The vehicle could be damaged by roof racks

ensure that when the roof rack is fitted,
the sliding sunroof can be fully raised.

such a way that the vehicle will not sus‐
tain damage even when it is in motion.

The weight of the roof luggage, including the
roof rack, must not exceed the maximum

across the entire roof surface. The maximum
load for each pair of roof rack support feet is
50 kg.
When the vehicle is at a standstill and when at
least three pairs of support feet are used, the
maximum permitted roof load of 150 kg may be
exceeded by a maximum of 150 kg , e.g. when a
roof tent is used. Always comply with the roof
rack manufacturer's installation instructions.

The covers may be damaged and scratched
when being opened.
