Practical information
Fitting roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the
roof, it is essential to use the transverse bars
approved for your vehicle.
When fitting roof bars, use only the four fixing
points located in the roof frame. The points are
masked by the vehicle doors when closed.
Remove the protective covers, levering them
off with a screwdriver. Take care not to scratch
the paint.
The roof bar fixings include a stud to be fitted
to the hole at each fixing point.
Observe the fitting instructions and the
conditions of use in the guide supplied with
the bars.
Keep the protective covers safe so that they
can be refitted after removing the roof bars.
Maximum load distributed over the roof
bars, for a load height not exceeding
40 cm (except bicycle carriers):
- for roof bars with pads at 90 mm:
50 kg
- for roof bars with pads at 150 mm:
80 kg.
For more information, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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 which are longer
than the vehicle.
Longitudinal roof bars are fitted as
original equipment to certain versions.
These play a purely aesthetic role and
transverse roof bars must not be fitted
to these longitudinal bars.
