Fitting roof bars

The transverse roof bars are fitted to the longitudinal bars at the 8 fixing points masked by covers.
Using a small screwdriver, remove the 8 covers on the inner faces of the longitudinal bars.
The transverse bars are fitted directly to the roof of the vehicle, at the 4 anchorage points masked
by covers.
Slide the covers towards the front of the vehicle to remove them.
Retain the protective covers.
After removing the roof bars, the protective covers should be refitted:


)
insert the fixing tongues into the apertures then slide the covers towards the rear of the vehicle.


The body sill finishers should not be
used as a step when fitting roof bars.

Use accessories recommended by
CITROËN and follow the accessory
manufacturer's fitting instructions.
Maximum authorised weight on the roof
bars, for a loading height not exceeding
40 cm (except bicycle carriers): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the condition of
the road, to avoid damaging the roof
bars and the fixings on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation to
comply with the regulations regarding
the transportation of objects which are
longer than the vehicle.
For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use transverse bars that are
approved for your vehicle.

according to your engine.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be added in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.

Checks










Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines

The petrol engines are per fectly compatible
with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels
(containing 10 % or 24 % ethanol), conforming
to European standards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)
are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed
for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must
comply with European standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are marketed
to run on fuels containing up to 100 % ethanol
(E100 type).














Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

The Diesel engines are per fectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current and
future European standards (Diesel fuel
which complies with standard EN 590 mixed
with a biofuel which complies with standard
EN 14214) available at the pumps (containing
up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel
engines; however, this use is subject to strict
application of the special ser vicing conditions.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).
1.6 litre petrol engines, even though they have
been designed to operate on 95 RON petrol,
can accept 90 RON petrol without engine
adjustments, but with a slight deterioration in
performance.
2.0 litre petrol engines can accept 90 RON or
higher petrol.
