Things to remember when driving  
DRIVING TIPS  
Overview  
Fold the cover outward.  
The pennant holder is located on the side of  
the vehicle.  
Installation  
Follow the assembly instructions for the roof  
bars.  
Installation  
1. Remove the protective cap.  
Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained  
for tilting and opening the glass sunroof.  
2. Insert pennant horizontally.  
3. Turn the pennant clockwise by 90° to re-  
tain the pennant.  
Loading  
Because luggage racks raise the vehicle's cen-  
ter of gravity when loaded, they have a ma-  
jor effect on vehicle handling and steering re-  
sponse.  
Roof bars  
When loading and driving, note the following:  
General information  
Roof racks are available as optional accesso-  
ries.  
Do not exceed the approved roof/axle  
weights and the approved gross vehicle  
weight.  
Distribute the roof load uniformly.  
Safety information  
The roof load should not extend past the  
loading area.  
Warning  
Always place the heaviest pieces on the  
bottom.  
When driving with a roof load, e.g., roof bars,  
the vehicle's center of gravity is higher. This  
increases the risk of the vehicle tipping in crit-  
ical driving situations. There is a risk of acci-  
dent, injury, or property damage. Drive with  
roof load only with activated Dynamic Stabil-  
ity Control.  
Secure the roof luggage firmly, for instance  
using luggage straps.  
Do not let objects project into the swiveling  
range of the trunk lid.  
Drive carefully. Do not drive off or brake  
suddenly or take corners at speed.  
Roof strip with flaps  
The mounting points are located in the roof  
strip above the doors.
