ROOF BARS
VERY COLD CLIMATE
SCREEN*
Maximum load, distributed
over the roof bars (for a
loading height not exceed-
ing 40 cm, except bicycle carrier):
80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
your speed to the profile of the road
to avoid damaging the roof bars
and the fixings on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions concerning the transport of
objects which are longer than the
vehicle.
For your safety and to avoid damage
to the roof and tailgate, the design of
your vehicle requires the use of roof
bars and roof boxes that are tested
and approved by CITROËN.
Regardless of the type of load car-
rier to be mounted on the roof (roof
box, bicycle carrier, ski carrier...),
you must fit transverse roof bars.
Removable protective screen which
prevents the accumulation of snow
at the radiator cooling fan.
Recommendations
) Distribute the load evenly, avoid-
ing overloading on one side.
) Arrange the heaviest part of the
load as close as possible to the
roof.
) Anchor the load securely and fit
a warning flag part of it is over-
hanging.
) Drive gently, as the vehicle will
be more liable to the effects of
side winds (vehicle stability may
be altered).
Fitting

screen to the front of the lower

Removal

as they are no longer needed.
