Practical information
Direct fitting on roof
Maintenance
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.
Work on the towing device
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
► Replace the protective plug 2 into the carrier
1.
► Stow the towball in its bag to protect it from
knocks and dirt.
Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to
use transverse roof bars approved for your
vehicle.
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.
Storage
This procedure should be considered for
versions without dedicated storage in the boot.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must
be inserted into the opening of each anchorage
point.
Recommendations
Maximum load distributed over the
transverse roof bars, for a loading height
not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier):
80 kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied
with 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 vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
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.
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 towball is attached to boot ring with strap.
2 strap loops are made around the towball and
then put into the ring.
