WARNING

Do not use the cross bars with any vehicle other than that for which they have been designed.
Do not overload the cross bars.
Do not use automated carwashes with the cross bars fitted.
Do not load cargo or accessories outside of the cross bar width.
Do not use elastic straps (bungees) to secure loads.
Do not drive with excessive speed when carrying on the roof.
Do not exceed gross vehicle weight when carrying on the roof.
Always adapt your driving when carrying on the roof.
Avoid harsh acceleration and braking.
Negotiate sharp bends with caution and moderate cornering speeds.
Make sure that all cargo and accessories are fitted securely to the cross bars.
Always check the security of cargo and accessories a short distance after fitting and thereafter at suitably regular intervals.
Always spread the load as evenly as possible on the cross bars with the lowest possible centre of gravity.
Always secure long loads, those significantly exceeding the length of the roof, at the ends of the vehicle.
Always be aware of the altered vehicle dimensions.
Always be aware of the increased effect of wind on the vehicle when carrying on the roof to minimise the effect of generated lifting and side forces. When carrying multiple surf boards they should be mounted flat and stacked on top of each other.
Always seek assistance when loading and unloading heavy or awkward items on the cross bars.
Always obey local regulations regarding carrying on the roof of a vehicle.
Always remove cross bars when not in use, to improve fuel economy.
Retain the user instructions.
