156 Starting and driving Fitting the roof carriers (accessory) 9-5 Wagon 1 Clean the car's roof rails. 2 Check the markings on the cross members to see which is the front and which is the rear roof carrier. 3 Place the cross members on the roof rails, on their respective sides of the centre supports. The cross members must not be placed beyond the front or rear joint on the rail. Ensure that the distance between the cross members is at least 28 inches (700 mm). If a roof box is to be fitted, the cross members must be positioned so that the tailgate can be opened fully without hitting the roof box. 4 Using your thumb, press the bracket so that it lies snugly against the outside of the roof rail. Make sure that the roof carriers are seated centrally on the rubber spacers and that these sit correctly on the roof rail. Pull the spacers down slightly on the inside of the roof rail. 5 Center the roof carriers so that they protrude equally on both sides. 6 Tighten the roof carriers by hand. Ensure that the tightening knobs are upright once the roof carriers have been tightened. 7 Make sure the roof carriers are securely in place. IB1294 IB1295
