WARNING :
Improper loading and fitting of the roof transport system or add-on modules - Danger of objects falling down - Danger of objects sticking out
- Load the roof transport system or add-on modules in such a way that the load does not project over the sides of the roof area. - Select the distances between several add-on modules fitted next to each other so that the transported items cannot bump against each other
during the trip.
- Secure load sufficiently to prevent it from shifting during the trip.
- Check the roof transport system or add-on modules regularly before each trip and during an extended trips to make sure they are seated
correctly and securely on the vehicle.
CAUTION :
Driving with a roof load
- Higher center of gravity
- Larger area exposed to the wind - Different vehicle handling
- Adapt driving style accordingly.
- Read the speed instructions and general information on the "Roof transport system" in the Owner's Manual.
Work Procedure:
1. Preparatory work.
1.1 Fit brackets for roof transport system on the roof of the vehicle ( -> Instructions for using roof transport system or -> Owner's Manual).
1.2 Decide which side (driver's or passenger's side) you want to fit the roof box on and open the cap on the bracket on this side ( -> Figure 3
).
1.3 Prepare roof box for mounting
INFORMATION: When opening, make sure that the opposite lock is locked.
1. 3. 1 Unpack the roof box and unlock it with one of the keys supplied. Turn the key clockwise to do this.
1. 3. 2 Move all four perforated strips ( -> Figure 4 -1-) in the guides (-> Figure 4 -2-) so that the center slot ( -> Figure 4 -3-) is centered
in the cut-out on the guide.
1. 3. 3 Check that the rubber seal ( -> Figure 4 -4-) is seated and positioned correctly on the underside of the clamp ( -> Figure 4 -5-) and
adjust it if necessary.
1. 3. 4 Insert an M8 T-bolt ( -> Figure 4 -6-) into the centre slot from below and fit a clamp ( -> Figure 4 -5-) onto the thread. 1. 3. 5 Loosely fit M8 butterfly nut ( -> Figure 4 -7-).

1. 3. 6 When installing the remaining three clamps, make sure that the lashing points on the top ( -> Figure 5 -1-) are aligned forward
and backward symmetrically with respect to the driver's or passenger's side.
CAUTION :
Risk of damage to the load or to the roof box if - profile rails (ski supports) are not secured.
- Never transport profile rails (ski supports) in the roof box unsecured. Always fasten them as described in the instructions for use.
1.4 Install the two ski supports (if necessary).
1. 4. 1 Position the M8 x 45 hexagon-head bolt ( -> Figure 6 -1-) into the sliding block (plastic, -> Figure 6 -2-) with the bolt head flush ( -> Figure 6 -A-). Guide the (plastic) sliding block together with the M8 x 45 hexagon-head bolt into the groove on the underside of the ski support ( -> Figure 6 -3-, -> Figure 6 -B-). Fit the remaining sliding blocks in the same way.
1. 4. 2 Align the two sliding blocks (underside of ski support) with respect to the width of the slots (guide rail) in the roof box floor ( ->
Figure 7 -A, arrows-).

1. 4. 3 Position thread of M8 hexagon-head bolt on the desired breaking point in the perforated strip ( -> Figure 7 -A, inset-). 1. 4. 4 Carefully press the ski support with the thread of the M8 hexagon-head bolt into the perforated strip ( -> Figure 7 -B-) until the
ski support is positioned on the guide rail.
1. 4. 5 Secure the ski support to the underside of the roof box with two M8 butterfly nuts ( -> Figure 7 -C-). 1. 4. 6 Fit the second ski support in the same way.
1.5 Lock the roof box.
CAUTION :
Incorrect installation, use or care of the roof box
- Risk of damage to the roof of the vehicle, tailgate and/or roof box
- Since the roof box is large, it should always be installed and removed from the roof transport system by two people. - Open the roof box only if the opposite lock is locked.
- Remove the roof box from the roof of the vehicle before washing the vehicle in an automatic car wash.
- Keep in mind the new overall vehicle height when driving through tunnels or under low branches and when driving into parking garages
and underpasses.
- Clean the roof box using soapy water only (without alcohol, chlorine or ammonia additives); other substances could attack and damage the
surface.
- Do not put stickers on the roof box. The adhesive film can dissolve the surface of the roof box or cause tension cracks.
- Occasionally spray the locks of the roof box with a commercially available spray lubricant. The lubricant must not come into contact with
the plastic surface of the roof box.
- When opening the rear lid for the first time, ensure that there is sufficient space between the rear lid and the installed roof box. Move the
roof box forward in direction of travel if necessary.
2. Fitting the roof box on the roof transport system
2.1 Position the roof box on the brackets from the side of the vehicle on which the brackets for the roof transport system are open.
2.2 Check and, if necessary, align the positions of the two closest sliding blocks (on the M8 x 55 T-bolt -> Figure 8 -1-) with respect to the
grooves in the brackets ( -> Figure 8 -2-).
2.3 Insert the sliding blocks for the roof box into the groove on the brackets and carefully slide the roof box to the center of the vehicle.
Adjust the position of the last two sliding blocks (T-bolts) if necessary.
2.4 Slide the roof box back as far as required ( -> Figure 9 -A, arrow-) until the floor of the roof box is touching the front bracket ( -> Figure
-----------------------------------------------------Page 5-----------------------------------------------------

9 -A, circle-).
2.5 Align the roof box symmetrically with respect to the center of the vehicle ( -> Figure 9 -B-) and close the side caps on the brackets. 2.6 Open the roof box on alternate sides and tighten the four M8 butterfly nuts.
When doing this, make sure the pin and seal (underside of clamp) are seated correctly in the perforated strip (see Step 1.3).
WARNING :
Improper loading and fitting of the roof transport system or add-on modules - Danger of objects falling down - Danger of objects sticking out
- Load the roof transport system or add-on modules in such a way that the load does not project over the sides of the roof area. - Select the distances between several add-on modules fitted next to each other so that the transported items cannot bump against each other
during the trip.
- Secure load sufficiently to prevent it from shifting during the trip.
- Check the roof transport system or add-on modules regularly before each trip and during an extended trips to make sure they are seated
correctly and securely on the vehicle.
3. Loading the roof box
3.1 Feed the tension strap ( -> Figure 10 -1-) through the eyelets on the floor of the roof box ( -> Figure 10 -2-) or on the clamps ( -> Figure
10 -3-).
Fit other tension straps in the same way, if necessary.
3.2 Load the roof box and secure the load with tension straps.
INFORMATION: Make sure there is enough space between the attachment point for skis and the floor or lid ( -> Fig. 12 -arrow-) of the roof box. Reposition skis in the roof box if necessary.
3.3 Carefully close the lid of the roof box.
INFORMATION: The key can be removed only if the roof box is locked.
3.4 Lock the roof box by turning the key counter-clockwise and remove the key.
4. Remove the roof box from the roof transport system
4.1 Open the roof box and empty it completely. 4.2 Loosen the four M8 butterfly nuts slightly.
4.3 Open the side caps on the relevant end of the brackets (->Instructions for using roof transport system).
4.4 With the help of a second person, carefully pull the roof box sideways out of the roof transport system brackets and remove it from the
vehicle.
4.5 Lock the roof box, clean it if necessary (observe warning notes) and store it lying flat in a suitable location. 4.6 Close the side caps on the end of the brackets (see relevant instructions for use).
