When towing with all four wheels on the

lifting equipment.
When towing with the engine off, there
is no longer any braking or steering
assistance.
Place the gear lever in neutral
(position N
with an electronic or
automatic gearbox).
Failure to follow this advice could
result in damage to certain braking
components and the absence of
braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.
Fitting roof bars
Maximum authorised load evenly
distributed on the roof bars, for a
loading height not exceeding 40 cm
(with the exception of bicycle carriers):
70
kg.
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 fixings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects which are longer
than the vehicle.
When fitting transverse roof bars, take care to
position them correctly: Use accessories recommended by
CITROËN obser ving the manufacturer's
recommendations and fitting
instructions so as to avoid the risk
of damaging the body (deformation,
scratches, ...).
Remove the cap using an allen

Put the bars into position then fit and
tighten the securing screws.
