Roof bars
The design of your vehicle requires the use
of roof bars that are tested and approved by
CITROËN, for your safety and to avoid damage
to the roof and tailgate.
Regardless of the type of loading equipment
to be transported on the roof (bicycle carrier,
ski carrier...), it is imperative that you add
transverse roof bars. Any securing or lashing to
components other than the roof bars is strictly
prohibited.
Recommendations
F Distribute your load evenly, avoiding
overloading on one side.
F Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
F Anchor the load securely and draw
attention to it if any part of it is
overhanging.
F Drive gently, as the vehicle will be more
liable to the effects of side winds (vehicle
stability may be altered).
F Remove the roof bars as soon as they are
no longer needed.
Maximum load that can be distributed
on the roof bars (for a loading height
not exceeding 40 cm; except bicycle
carrier): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt your
speed to the profile of the road to avoid
damaging the roof bars and the fixings
on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations
concerning the transportation of objects
which are longer than the vehicle.
