Practical information
After switching off the engine and for a
maximum cumulative period of around
30 minutes, you can continue to use functions
such as the audio and telematics system,
dipped beam headlamps or courtesy lamps.
use transverse roof bars approved for your
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before
each trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.

Selecting the mode
Maximum load distributed over the
roof bars, for a loading height not
exceeding 40 cm: 70 kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and
the fixings on the vehicle.
Direct fitting on roof
A confirmation message is displayed when
energy economy mode is entered, and the
active functions are placed on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at the
time, it will be maintained for around
10 minutes via the audio system’s hands-free
system.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects that are longer than the
vehicle.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated
the next time the vehicle is used.
The transverse bars must only be fixed at the
four anchorage points located on the roof
frame. These points are concealed by the
vehicle doors when the doors are closed.
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be
inserted into the opening of each anchorage
point.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
– For less than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 5 minutes.
– For more than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
To recharge the battery, avoid repeatedly or
continuously restarting the engine.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking
care to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and
its stability may be affected.
Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use
of certain functions, in order to conserve a
sufficient level of charge in the battery with the
ignition off.
