Maintenance
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.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure
jet wash, the towball must be removed and the
protective plug fitted to the carrier.
The transverse bars must be fixed at the
markings located on the longitudinal bars.
Work on the towing device
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a

Recommendations
Direct fitting on roof
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.
Roof bars
Secure the load firmly.
As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
transverse roof bars approved for your
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
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.
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.
Maximum load distributed over the
transverse roof bars, for a loading height
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be
inserted into the opening of each anchorage
point.
