Practical information
Fitting roof bars
Fitting directly to the roof
Do not exceed the maximum authorised
load, shown in the instructions for 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 roof.
As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars.
When fitting roof bars, use only the four fixing
points located in the roof frame. The points are
hidden by the vehicle doors when closed.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects that are longer than
the vehicle.
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 securely.
Fitting on longitudinal bars
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and the stability of the vehicle may be
affected.
On a long journey, check the security of
the load at every stop.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.
Use accessories recommended by
PEUGEOT, observing the manufacturer's
recommendations and fitting instructions
so as to avoid the risk of damaging the
body (deformation, scratches, etc.).
The transverse bars must be fixed at the
engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.
