Starting and driving

Installing the roof carriers (acces-

sory)

The carrier feet are marked with a top view
of the car and an arrow indicating their
positions.

1 Slip the plastic cover onto the adjustable

foot of the carrier (the foot with a knob for
tightening) to protect the paintwork
during assembly.

2 Open all the doors.

Fold back the rubber strip and locate the
fixing holes. On Coupés, the cover
plates for the rearmost points of attach-
ment must be removed.

3 Position the carrier gently across the

roof, with the rigid foot towards you. Hold
the foot clear of the roof to avoid damag-
ing the paintwork.

4 Fold back the rubber strip and insert the

pins of the foot into the fixing holes. In fit-
ting the rear carrier on Coupés, press
the foot down over the pins in the mount-
ing and slide it forward.

5 Carefully close the doors on this side, so

as to hold the feet in place.

6 Move to the other side of the car and

remove the plastic cover from the
adjustable foot. Fold back the rubber
strip and insert the pins of the foot into
the fixing holes.

7 When fitting the rear carrier on Coupés,

press the foot down over the pins in the
mounting and slide it forward.

8 Make the carrier hand-tight by turning

the knob clockwise.
