OPENING REAR SCREEN
Vehicle with opening rear
screen
The rear screen is locked and unlocked
at the same time as the doors.
To open
Press button 1.
Lift the rear screen by the base of
screen wiper 2. To close
Hold the base of screen wiper
2 and
fold back the rear screen until it locks
in position.
Driving with the rear screen
open may be unpleasant
for passengers as exhaust
gases may enter the pas -
senger compartment. This must
only be done over short distances
or when transporting bulky ob -
jects without having to open the
tailgate. In that case, close the other
windows and the sunroof and switch
the ventilation to medium or max-
imum power , as this will help to
prevent exhaust gas from entering
the passenger compartment.

ROOF BARS (continued)
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;

For information on the range of
equipment adapted to your vehi -
cle, we advise you to consult an ap-
proved Dealer.
Refer to the fitting instructions for in-
formation on how to fit roof bars and
conditions of use.
Please keep these instructions with
the rest of the vehicle documenta -
tion.
Maximum permissible load on
roof rack: refer to the information
on “Weights” in Section 6.
