Mounting
Follow the installation instructions of the roof rack.
Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for tilting and opening the glass sunroof.
Magnetic roof-mounted luggage racks
Because of the aluminum roof, magnetic roofmounted luggage racks cannot be used.
Loading
Because roof-mounted luggage racks raise the vehicle's center of gravity when loaded, they have a major effect on vehicle handling and steering response.
Therefore, note the following when loading and driving:
- Do not exceed the approved roof/axle loads and the approved gross vehicle weight.
- Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for tilting and opening the glass sunroof.
- Distribute the roof load uniformly.
- The roof load should not extend past the loading area.
- Always place the heaviest pieces on the bottom.
- Secure the roof luggage firmly, for instance using ratchet straps.
- Do not let objects project into the opening path of the trunk lid.
- Drive cautiously and avoid sudden acceleration and braking maneuvers. Take corners gently.
Driving on racetracks
Warning
The vehicle is not designed for use in M Sport or motor sport type competition. There is a risk of accident. Do not use the vehicle for M Sport or motor sport type competitions.
Higher mechanical and thermal loads during racetrack operation lead to increased wear. This wear is not covered by the warranty.
