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 trans-
verse roof bars. Recommendations
Distribute your load evenly,
avoiding overloading on one
side.
Arrange the heaviest part of the
load as close as possible to the
roof.
Anchor the load securely and
draw attention to it if any part of
it is overhanging.
Drive gently, as the vehicle will
be more liable to the effects of
side winds (vehicle stability may
be altered).
Remove the roof bars as soon
as they are no longer needed. M a x i m u m l o a d t h a t c a n b e

tions concerning the transportation
of objects which are longer than
the vehicle.
