This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
→ Attaching the mounts and roof carrier
→ Loading the roof carrierThe roof of the vehicle has been designed for optimum aerodynamic effect. It is therefore no longer possible to attach conventional roof carrier systems to a rain channel on the roof.
As the rain channels have been integrated into the roof for better aerodynamics, only mounts or roof carriers approved by Volkswagen can be used.
When should the roof carrier be removed?
Additional information and warnings:
WARNING
When transporting heavy or bulky objects in the roof carrier, the vehicle's handling will change due to a shift in the centre of gravity and an increased susceptibility to crosswinds.NOTICE
Driving with a fitted roof carrier will increase air resistance and thus increase fuel consumption.

Contact corrosion can occur if unsuitable connecting
elements (screws, bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) are used.
For this reason, only connecting elements with a special
surface coating are fitted in the vehicle.
