SECURITY REGULATIONS
A.1
Check at regular intervals (depending on the state of the roads) both before and during
each journey that the roof box is firmly fixed to the roof rack, the load adequately
secured, the roof box locked and the key removed from the lock.
A.2
Make sure the roof box is closed and locked and the key removed from the lock before
driving off.
A.3
If left unsupervised, check all locks, load and fixation of the box to make sure it is in the
correct condition.
A.4
Inadequately secured loads and incorrectly mounted roof racks and roof boxes can come
loose during a journey and cause serious accidents!
A.5
Ensure you give due consideration to the change in height and drive behaviour (side-
wind sensitivity, corner and braking behaviour) of the given vehicle when a roof rack and/
or roof box is/are mounted and, above all, loaded. No further loads may be attached to
the exterior of the roof box.
A.6
The total permissible laden weight of the given motor vehicle may not be exceeded. The
instructions of the motor vehicle manufacturer in respect of the maximum roof weight
must be observed.
A.7
Calculation of allowed roof load:
Weight of roof rack
+ weight of roof box
+ weight of payload
= available roof load
A.8
The vehicle's speed must always be adjusted to the load being carried and the current
driving conditions, such as the road type, road quality, wind conditions, traffic intensity and
applicable speed limits, but must under no circumstances exceed 130 km/h. Applicable
speed limits and other traffic regulations must always be observed.
A.9
The roof box should be carefully cleaned and maintained, particularly during the winter
months. For this purpose, only use a solution of water and standard household washing
liquid without any alcohol, bleach or ammonium additives as otherwise the surface of the
roof box could suffer damage. Please do not use any standard cockpit sprays for cleaning
the roof box. The locks should be lubricated with spray lubricant (no lubricant should be
allowed to come into contact with the plastic surface of the roof box).
B.0
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING WHEN USING THE ROOF BOX:
B.1
The height of the given vehicle can increase by up to 700 mm (depending on the roof
rack used)
B.2
Beware of low garage entrances, low clearances in general, low-hanging branches, etc!
B.3
Wind noise may be generated.
B.4
When using an automatic car-wash facility, the roof box and roof rack must first be
removed.
B.5
In addition to these usage instructions, due consideration should also be given to
mounting instructions for the given roof rack and the operating instructions of the given
vehicle!
B.6
For reasons of fuel economy and the safety of other road users, the roof box and roof
rack should be removed when not in use.
B.7
For your own safety, you should only use tested (e.g. GS-tested) roof racks that are
authorised for usage in conjunction with your vehicle.
B.8
The roof box must be mounted with the front facing the driving direction.
B.9
In order to avoid generating excessive lifting forces, the roof box must be mounted
parallel to the line of the road and not at an angle.
B.10 If no special fitting positions are given in the assembly instructions, try to maintain a
minimum distance of 700 mm between the load carrier bars. Please note that changes
(e.g. additional drill holes) to the roof box fixation system are not permissible.
