Maximum authorised load distributed over
the transverse roof bars, for a load height
not exceeding 40 cm (with the exception
of
bicycle carriers):
-
Hatchback: 65 kg.
-
SW: 80 kg .
For more information, contact a
PEUGEOT 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 vehicle's fixing points.

than the vehicle, refer to local legislation.
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 correct locking of the
roof bars, at least before each trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.
If you use a roof box, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to obtain
the compatible fixing parts. Sunroof
Do not operate the sunroof when using
roof bars – risk of major damage!
Bicycle/Accessory Carrier
Do not fit an accessory carrier to the
tailgate.
