Practical information
Recommendations
In case of difficulty with installation/
removal
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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.
Before any operation, ensure that the
engine is off and the cooling fan has
stopped.
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.
It is essential to remove them when:
► the outside temperature exceeds 10°C.
► recovery is in progress.
► the speed is above 75 mph (120 km/h).
► Place the 7 central fixing brackets (upper: 1 ;
lower: 2) and pre-engage them in the front
bumper grille.
► Press on the upper middle part to clip.
Fitting/Removing
► Repeat the same steps for the left and right
side parts with the 5 side fixing brackets
(upper: 3 ; lower: 4).
► Check that the unit is firmly held by pressing
its edge.
Sunroof
Do not operate the sunroof when using
roof bars - risk of major damage!
To remove the screen, press down on the upper
fixing brackets 1 and 3, then tilt the screen down.
Snow chains
Very cold climate screen
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
(Depending on country of sale)
This removable device prevents the
accumulation of snow around the radiator
cooling fan.
► Align the top centre of the screen with the top
centre of the front bumper grille.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels.
It consists of an element to be attached to the
lower part of the front bumper.
They must never be fitted to "space-saver"
type spare wheels.
