◆ Height restrictions in multi-storey car parks and underground car parks.
Caution
Do not enter a car wash with carrier units with/without roof rack modules installed.

WARNING
The load affects driving and braking behaviour and the
vehicle's sensitivity to side winds. Adapt your driving
style accordingly – risk of accident!

When driving in strong side winds, make sure that you
take extra care:
