WARNING
Check all of the screws on the basic carrier bars are
firmly secured, and tighten them if necessary every
time you fit the basic carrier bars, before each
journey and also when on a long journey. Repeat
these checks at regular intervals, depending on
road surface conditions, at the latest after
1,552.5 miles (2,500 km) of continuous use.
Do not apply lubricants to the screws of the basic
carrier bars. The screws could then loosen and the
basic carrier bars could become detached from
your vehicle including the load, causing injury to
you and others and/or damage to property,
including your own vehicle.
Installing the cover strip
If no fitting roof attachments are used, cover strip (5)
should be mounted to minimise wind noise.
