WARNING
Each step of the installation instructions, as well as
the warnings, general safety information and notes
provided, must be followed exactly. If the basic
carrier bars are not correctly mounted, they may
come loose from your vehicle together with their
cargo, resulting in injury to you and other persons
and/or damage to property, including to your
vehicle.

WARNING
The roof load increases the surface area exposed to
the wind, which also raises the vehicle's center of
gravity, thus causing a change in driving
characteristics. For example, the additional weight
on the roof of the vehicle may impair braking
performance, cornering ability and the acceleration
characteristics of the vehicle.
Always adapt your driving style to the prevailing
road, traffic and weather conditions, driving with
particular caution when driving with cargo on the
roof.
Drive especially carefully, even when driving with
unladen basic carrier bars mounted on the vehicle.
Do not exceed the maximum roof load or the
permissible gross vehicle weight, even when using
roof attachments (e.g. ski racks, bicycle
racks, etc.). Otherwise, the basic carrier bars,
attachments mounted to the basic carrier bars
and/or cargo may come loose from the vehicle,
resulting in injury to you or other persons and/or
damage to property, including to your vehicle.
