Practical information
Fitting the bars
- Unscrew the knurled wheels located at the ends of the bars fully.
- Take hold of the bar by the ends to slide them towards the inside
to retract them.
- Extract the metal end piece A taking
hold of the end of the bar like
a syringe.
- Insert the end piece A on one side
t h e n l o w e r i t t o fi x i t i n t h e b a s e o f
the notch B . Storing
When the bars are not in use:
- partially loosen the knurled wheels,
- lift the bar slightly,
- pivot it upwards by 180°,
- tighten the knurled wheels.
Good practice
In the event of a front impact, the rack
is disengaged to avoid injury to the
occupants of the vehicle. The slight
clearance observed in the bar is linked
with this safety disengagement.
Do not loosen or place the bars in a
position other than those described
above.
The load on the rack must rest on the
overhead storage compartment and
be strapped using the strap passages
provided on the bars.
The bars are not grab handles for the
passengers.
- Carry out the same operations
on the other side.
- Ensure that they are engaged correctly at the base of the notch.
- Tighten the knurled wheels and check the tightening by pushing
the bar sideways.
To remove, proceed in the reverse
order.

Towing a trailer
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power. In
this case, the automatic cutting off of
the air conditioning allows the engine
power to be recovered.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures
of the towing vehicle (see the
" I d e n t i fi c a t i o n f e a t u r e s " s e c t i o n o f
chapter 9) and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressure.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually. Towbar
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fi t t i n g o f t h i s e q u i p m e n t t o a P E U G E O T
