The brackets (A) are located under each cover (B). Attaching the roof carrier
Slide
each cover (B) towards the front of the vehi-
cle to remove it. Refitting the covers

CAUTION
l
Make
sure that the weight of the luggage
does not exceed the allowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this
may cause damage to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allowable load
on the roof (the weight of the roof carrier
plus the weight of luggage placed on the
roof carrier).
For the specific value, refer to “Maxi-
mum roof load” on page 9-07.
l When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,
please make sure to drive slowly and
avoid excessive manoeuvres such as sud-
den braking or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on the car-
rier so that its weight is distributed even-
ly with the heaviest items on the bottom.
Do not load items that are wider than the
roof carrier.
The additional weight on the roof could
raise the vehicle’s centre of gravity and af-
fect vehicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency
manoeuvres could lead to a loss of control
and result in an accident.
l Before driving and after travelling a
short distance, always check the load to
make sure it is securely fastened to the
roof carrier.
Check periodically during your travel
that the load remains secure. Starting and driving

Notes on CD-Rs/RWs
E00725100055
l You
may have trouble playing back some
CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD recorders
(CD-R/RW drives), either due to their record-
ing characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
l CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high tem-
peratures and high humidity than ordinary mu-
sic CDs and can therefore be damaged and
rendered unplayable if left inside your vehi-
cle for a long time.
l Depending on the combination of the writing
software, the CD recorder (CD-R/RW drive),
and the disc used to create a CD-R/RW, the
disc might not play successfully.
l This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs
if the session is not closed.
l This player cannot play CD-R/RW discs
which contain other than CD-DA or MP3 da-
ta (Video CD, etc.).
l Be sure to observe the handling instructions
for the CD-R/RW disc. WARNING
l Operating
the CD player in a manner oth-
er than specifically instructed herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Do not remove the cover and attempt to
repair the CD player by yourself. There
are no user serviceable parts inside. If the
CD player is not working correctly, it is
recommended that you have it inspected. Antenna
