Recommendations
F Distribute the load evenly, avoiding
overloading on one side.
F Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
F Secure the load firmly and fit a warning flag
if it overhangs the vehicle.
F Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds (the
stability of the vehicle may be affected).
F Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.
After refitting a front wiper
blade
F Switch on the ignition.
F Operate the wiper control stalk again to
park the wiper blades.
The replacement of wiper arms should be
carried out only by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
When fitting roof bars, use only the four fixing
points located on the roof frame. These points
are masked by the vehicle doors when closed.
The roof bar fixings include a stud which should
be fitted to the opening in each fixing point.
You must fit the transverse bars to the
longitudinal bars at the fixing points indicated
by engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.
