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
for roof rail with/without add-on parts to remain on the vehi-
cle, even if they are not in use. As a result of the increased
wind resistance, your vehicle will consume more fuel and will
produce additional noise.
◆ We therefore recommend that you remove the roof bars for
roof rail after use.
◆ Increased wind noise can result from driving with the roof
bars for the roof rail.
