Storage position
To make the vehicle as aerodynamic
as possible, roof bars 1 must be stored
right at the rear of the vehicle.
Moving the bars
On each side, pull lever 2 inwards to re-
lease it (movement A).
Slide bar 1 to the required position. On
each side, push back lever 2 to secure
the bar (movement B). Check that it is
correctly locked.
Loading
The load should be evenly distributed
and must not exceed the maximum
permissible weight per bar indicated
on each bar (refer to the information on
“Weights” in Section 6).
Ensure that any objects and/or acces -
sories being transported are properly
secured. Straps can be fed through
recess 3.
Likewise, the two bars must be suffi -
ciently spaced to prevent the load from
rocking or falling off the bars.

Removing the bars
It may sometimes be necessary to
remove the roof bars. To do this:
– unscrew section 5 using screw 4;
– unlock the bars using levers 2 and
slide them backwards to remove
them;
– refit section 5.
For safety reasons, always ensure that
the roof bars are properly secured if
they are being stored inside the vehicle.
Refitting the bars
Proceed in the reverse order to re -
moval.
Check the bars are correctly locked in
position.
Precautions during use
Using the sunroof (on equipped
vehicles) or the tailgate.
As a general rule, it is not advisable
to use the sunroof when there is a
load on the roof bars.
Before opening the sunroof or tail -
gate, check the objects and/or ac -
cessories (bike rack, roof box, etc.)
fitted to the roof bars: these must be
correctly positioned and secured, so
as not to hinder the operation of the
sunroof or luggage compartment lid.
Contact an approved dealer for de-
tails of possible conversions;
