Installing the load carriers
Kit contents
Preparations
When installing for the first time, the trim needs to be cut to the correct length.
Then pull apart the T-track trim.
Apply the trim to the load carrier. The arrows on the trim show the installation direction. The arrows should point towards the front of the car.
Positioning the load carriers
Note
Loosen the covers on the load carriers by turning the locking key 90° anticlockwise, and then carefully loosen the cover.
To install the right load carrier in the right place, see the decal located under the load carrier.
Position one of the load carrier's feet at the edge of the roof, so that the pins on the attaching brace are in line with the rivet nuts in the door frame.
Note
Position the attaching brace down against the roof edge.
Note
Check that the load carrier's foot is in contact with the edge of the roof.
Reinstall the covers on the end faces of the load carriers and turn the locking key 90° clockwise.

Safety instructions
Note
- Maximum permitted roof load and total weight for the car must not be exceeded (see the owner's manual for the car). Maximum roof load consists of the total of the load carriers' unladen weight, accessories and load.
- Distribute the load evenly over the loading surface, with as low a centre of gravity as possible, and secure it so that it cannot come loose.
- Check the position and securement of the load at regular intervals
- Check bolted joints and brackets after a short driving distance. If necessary, tighten to the prescribed torque. Check at regular intervals.
- The car's driving characteristics and crosswind sensitivity are changed by a load on the roof. Adapt speed according to vehicle load (max. 130 km/h / 80 mph). Always follow applicable speed limits and other traffic laws.
- For the safety of other road users and to save energy, remove the load carriers when not in use.
