Note
◆ When driving with a roof load, ensure that the German Road
Traffic Regulations (StVZO) or any country-specific regula-
tions are observed.
◆ For reasons of convenience, it is common for the roof bars
with/without add-on components to remain on the vehicle,
even if they are not in use. As a result of the increased wind
resistance, your vehicle will consume more fuel and will pro-
duce additional noise.
◆ We therefore recommend that you remove the roof bars af-
ter use.
◆ Increased wind noise can result from driving with the roof
bars attached.
