structure
WARNING
The crossbars are mounted on the longitudinal roof
bars according to the installation instructions for the
first ones.
When heavy or large objects are transported in
the roof rack, the driving characteristics of the
vehicle vary due to the shift in the center of gravity
and the larger area exposed to the wind.
Once the crossbars have been correctly
assembled, the supporting structure in question can
be fixed on them.
· Always secure the load correctly with proper and
undamaged lashing straps, lashing straps or
lashing straps.
WARNING
Improper attachment and use of the crossbars

structure when they are in perfect condition
and are correctly fixed.
· Always adapt your speed and driving style to
the visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
· Always mount the crossbars and the supporting
structure correctly. Be sure to observe the
assembly instructions provided by the

· Check the fastenings of the roof rack before
setting off and, if necessary, tighten them after a
short journey. When you are on long journeys,
check the threaded joints and fixings at every
break you take.
· If you nevertheless install a roof rack, it could
come loose while driving and fall off the roof of
the vehicle.
