Fitting the roof transport system
When fitting the roof transport system for the first
time, the front and rear carrier must be adjusted
according to the width of the vehicle.
Roof channel protectors can also be secured to
the vehicle when fitting the roof transport system
for the first time. These protectors make it easier
to fit the roof transport system and protect the
fastening recesses in the roof rails from damage.
1. Open the cover flap on the roof rails.
2. Unscrew plastic screws from the retaining
threads.
f
Make sure not to lose the plastic screws.
Note
When you have removed the roof transport
system, the plastic screws can be screwed back
into the retaining threads to prevent dirt from
getting into the threads.
3. Position the long carrier
A
at the front and
the short carrier
B
at the rear loosely on the
fastening recesses.
f
Fastening screws on the carriers must not
protrude underneath as this would damage
the vehicle.
f
Make sure that the carriers are aligned in
accordance with the specifications on the
stickers on the underside of the carriers.
