Nastavení a instalace

The Volvo Original XC60 Roof Rack is designed for vehicles equipped with integrated roof rails. Follow these steps carefully for proper installation.

Step 1: Prepare Your Vehicle

Ensure your vehicle's roof rails are clean and free from debris. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.

Step 2: Assemble the Cross Bars

Each cross bar consists of an aluminum profile and two mounting feet. Attach the mounting feet to the ends of each cross bar. Ensure the feet are oriented correctly according to the markings (e.g., front/rear, left/right).

Step 3: Position the Front Cross Bar

Carefully place the assembled front cross bar onto the vehicle's front roof rails. Position it according to your vehicle's specific guidelines, typically a certain distance from the windshield or a marked point on the roof rails. Ensure the clamps align with the roof rails.

Step 4: Secure the Front Cross Bar

Using the provided hex key, tighten the clamping mechanisms on each mounting foot. Tighten evenly on both sides to ensure the bar is level and securely fastened to the roof rails. Do not overtighten, but ensure there is no movement.

Step 5: Position and Secure the Rear Cross Bar

Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for the rear cross bar. Maintain the recommended distance between the front and rear bars for optimal load distribution and stability. This distance is usually specified in your vehicle's owner's manual or the roof rack's supplementary instructions.

Krok 6: Závěrečná kontrola

After installation, gently pull and push on each cross bar to confirm it is firmly attached and does not wobble. Re-tighten any loose fasteners. Drive a short distance at low speed and then re-check all fasteners for tightness. Repeat this check periodically, especially before long journeys or after driving on rough roads.
