If the height exceeds 40cm, 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.
Fitting on longitudinal bars
The transverse bars must be fixed at the engraved
markings on the longitudinal bars.
Fitting directly to the roof
You must only attach the transverse bars to the
four fixing points located on the roof frame. These
points are concealed by the vehicle doors when
the doors are closed.
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be
inserted into the opening of each fixing point.
Recommendations
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.
Bonnet
Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any
risk of injury resulting from an automatic
change to START mode.
Hybrid vehicles
Before any work is carried out under the
bonnet, it is essential to switch off the ignition
and check that the READY indicator lamp is off
in the instrument panel - risk of serious injury!
The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents the bonnet being opened
when the left-hand front door is closed.
