Practical information
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
Fitting directly to the roof
Before any work is carried out under the
bonnet, it is essential to switch off the ignition
and disconnect the charging connector nozzle
if it is connected, check that the READY
indicator lamp is off on the instrument panel
and wait 4 minutes - risk of serious injury!
Sunroof
You must only attach the transverse bars to the
four fixing points located on the roof frame. These
points are concealed by the vehicle doors when
the doors are closed.
The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents the bonnet being opened
when the left-hand front door is closed.
Do not operate the sunroof when using
roof bars - risk of major damage!
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be
inserted into the opening of each fixing point.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch with care (risk of
burns), using the protected area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.

Recommendations
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any
risk of the engine restarting automatically.
Take care with objects or clothing that could
be caught in the blades of the cooling fan
or in certain moving components - risk of
strangulation and serious injury!
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.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
Secure the load firmly.
Cooling of the engine when stopped
The engine cooling fan may start after the
engine has been switched off.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Take care with objects or clothing that could
be caught in the blades of the fan!
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.
