Driving

alone or combined with the "Driver Attention 

Warning by Camera" system.

These systems are in no way designed 

to keep the driver awake or to prevent 

the driver from falling asleep at the wheel. 

It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling 

tired.

Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least 

every 2 hours.

Driver Attention Warning

The system triggers an alert when it 

detects that the driver has not taken a 

break after two hours of driving at a speed above 

43 mph (70 km/h).

This alert is issued via the display of a message 

encouraging the driver to take a break, 

accompanied by an audible signal.

If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert 

is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.

The system resets itself if one of the following 

conditions is met:

–  With the engine running, the vehicle has been 

stationary for more than 15 minutes.

–  The ignition has been switched off for a few 

minutes.

–  The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their 

door is opened.

As soon as the speed of the vehicle 

drops below 43 mph (70 km/h), the 

system goes into standby.

Driving time starts being counted again once 

the speed reaches above 43 mph (70 km/h).

Driver Attention Warning by 

Camera

Depending on version, the Driver Attention 

Warning system may be combined with the 

Driver Attention Warning by Camera system.

 

 

The system assesses the driver's level of 

alertness, fatigue and distraction by 

identifying trajectory changes in relation to the 

lane markings.

To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on 

the upper part of the windscreen.

This system is particularly suited to fast roads 

(speed higher than 43 mph (70 km/h)).

The system may perform a learning 

procedure for up to 30 minutes after the 

start of the monitoring.

During this period, the driver's individual 

driving behaviour is analysed and no alert is 

given.

At a first alert level, the driver is warned by the 

message "

Be vigilant!

", accompanied by an 

audible signal.

After three first-level alerts, the system triggers 

a further alert with the message "

Dangerous 

driving: take a break

", accompanied by a more 

pronounced audible signal.

In certain driving conditions (poor road 

surface or strong winds), the system may 

give alerts independent of the driver's level of 

vigilance.

The following situations may interfere 

with the operation of the system or 

prevent it from working:

–  Lane positioning assist is active.

–  poor visibility (e.g. inadequate street 

lighting, heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall).

–  dazzle (e.g. headlamps of an oncoming 

vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp road, 

leaving a tunnel, alternating shade and light).

–  windscreen area located in front of the 

camera (e.g. dirty, misted, frost-covered, 

snow-covered, damaged or masked by a 

sticker).

163

–  lane markings absent, worn, hidden 

(e.g. snow, mud, dead leaves) or multiple 

(roadworks).

–  close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings 

not detected).

–  roads that are narrow, winding.

Deactivation/Activation

The function is activated by default when the 

ignition is switched on.

The settings are changed via the 

Driving

/

Vehicle

 touch screen menu.

Deactivation is confirmed by the 

illumination of this indicator lamp on the 

instrument panel.

Malfunction

This warning lamp lights up on the 

instrument panel with the message 

"

Audible Warning System fault: Repair 

needed

" if the audible warning system is in 

failure.

The system may be disturbed or unavailable.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

In the event of a malfunction, this warning 

lamp lights up on the instrument panel, 

accompanied by the display of a message and 

an audible signal.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

This warning lamp lights up on the 

instrument panel with the message 

"

Driving Assistance Sensor blind: Clean 

sensor, see User Manual

" if the sensor is 

masked.

This is a normal behavior, which does not 

request the support of a qualified workshop.

In this case, stop the vehicle and verify if the 

front camera is covered by dirt, mud, sand, 

snow, ice or anything preventing the sensing.

The system is operational again after the 

detection field has been cleaned.

Blind spot monitoring

For more information, refer to the 

General recommendations on the use 

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

 

 

This system warns the driver of a potential 

danger posed by the presence of another vehicle 

(car, lorry, motorcycle) in the vehicle's blind 

spots (areas hidden from the driver's field of 

vision) using sensors located on the sides of the 

bumpers.

 

 

A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the 

side in question:

– 

fixed

, immediately, when being overtaken.

– 

flashing

, after a delay of about one second, 

when overtaking a vehicle slowly, and when the 

direction indicator is used.

Activation/Deactivation

It is set via the 

Driving/Vehicle

 touch 

screen menu.

When the function is activated, this 

indicator lamp comes on in the instrument 

panel.

When starting the vehicle, the warning lamp 

comes on in each mirror to indicate that the 

system is activated.

The status of the system is memorised when the 

ignition is switched off.

The system is automatically deactivated 

when towing with a towing device 

approved by PEUGEOT.

164

Driving

Operating conditions

–  All vehicles are moving in the same direction 

and in adjacent lanes.

–  The speed of your vehicle must be between 7 

and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h).

–  When overtaking a vehicle, the speed 

difference is less than 6 mph (10 km/h).

–  When overtaken by a vehicle, the speed 

difference is less than 16 mph (25 km/h).

–  Traffic is flowing normally.

–  Overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of 

time and the vehicle being overtaken remains in 

the blind spot.

–  You are driving on a straight or slightly curved 

road.

–  Your vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a caravan, 

etc.

Operating limits

 

 

 

 

No alert is triggered in the following conditions:

–  presence of stationary objects (e.g. parked 

vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs).

–  vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.

–  on winding roads or in case of sharp turns.

–  when overtaking or being overtaken by a 

very long vehicle (e.g. truck, bus), which is both 

detected in a blind spot from behind and present 

in the driver's field of vision from the front.

–  quick overtaking manoeuvre.

–  very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front 

and behind are confused with a lorry or a 

stationary object.

–  activation of the Park Assist function. 

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this 

warning lamp flashes for a few 

moments in the instrument panel, accompanied 

by the Service warning lamp coming on and the 

display of a message.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

The system may be temporarily disturbed 

by certain climatic conditions (e.g. rain, 

hail).

In particular, driving on a wet road or going 

from a dry to a wet area can cause false 

alerts (e.g. presence of a cloud of water 

droplets in the blind spot interpreted as a 

vehicle).

In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the 

sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.

165

Driving

Take care not to cover the warning zone in 

the door mirrors, or the detection zones on 

the front and rear bumpers with adhesive 

labels or other objects; they may hamper 

correct operation of the system.

Parking sensors

For more information, refer to the 

General recommendations on the use 

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

 

 

This system detects and signals the proximity of 

obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) 

using sensors located in the bumper.

Rear parking sensors

System startup is available under the following 

conditions:

–  when reverse gear is engaged.

–  when the vehicle is moving backwards 

(e.g. downhill, in neutral).

It is indicated by an audible confirmation signal 

and a display indication.

If an obstacle is detected as soon as the 

reverse gear is engaged, an audible 

detection signal is given directly instead of the 

audible confirmation signal.

If no audible signal is given, the display 

indication is not shown or a warning message 

appears, the system has a failure.

Audible assistance

 

 

The system signals the presence of obstacles 

within the sensors’ detection zone.

The proximity information is given by an 

intermittent audible signal, the frequency of 

which increases as the vehicle approaches the 

obstacle.

When the distance between the vehicle and 

the obstacle becomes less than about thirty 

centimetres, the audible signal becomes 

continuous.

The sound emitted by the speaker (right or 

left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is 

located.

The audible signal is automatically suspended 

when the vehicle is stationary for a few seconds.

The audible signal is automatically restored 

when the vehicle is moving again or if the 

obstacle approaches the vehicle.

Adjusting the audible signal

Depending on version, with 

PEUGEOT Connect Radio or 

PEUGEOT Connect Nav, pressing this button 

opens the window for adjusting the volume of 

the audible signal.

Visual assistance

 

 

This supplements the audible signal by 

displaying bars on the screen whose location 

represents the distance between the obstacle 

and the vehicle (white: more distant, orange: 

close, red: very close).

When the obstacle is very close, the "

Danger

symbol is displayed on the screen.

Closing the system display window

Pressing this button closes the 

system display window.

This warning lamp flashes during obstacle 

detection on the instrument panel.

166

Driving

Muting the audible assistance / 

Closing the visual assistance

If the audible detection signal is muted or the 

system display window is closed manually by 

the driver with the button above during the 

obstacle detection, only the warning lamp 

continues to flash on the instrument panel.

Front parking sensors

Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the 

front parking sensors are triggered when an 

obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the 

vehicle is below 6 mph (10 km/h).

Front parking sensor operation is suspended if 

the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in 

forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected 

or the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

The sound emitted by the speaker (front 

or rear) locates the obstacle relative to 

the vehicle, whether in front of or behind it on 

its path.

Deactivation/Activation

(Depending on country of sale)

By default, the audible signal is automatically 

activated at each time the reverse gear is 

engaged.

The system cannot be deactivated. 

You can start the system manually and 

activate/deactivate the audible signal in 

the 

Driving

/

Vehicle

 touch screen menu.

The rear parking sensors system will be 

deactivated automatically if a trailer or 

bicycle carrier is connected to a towing device 

installed in accordance with the 

manufacturer's recommendations.

When starting the vehicle, the graphic 

and audible aids are only available after 

the touch screen has started up.

Operating limits

If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt, 

affecting distance measurements.

In case of a gearbox failure, the system is not 

active, when the reverse gear is engaged.

Malfunction

In case of display or speakers 

malfunction (e.g. frozen image, black 

screen), the system may be disturbed or 

unavailable.

In the event of vehicle malfunction that 

requires the vehicle to be stopped, the 

system may be deactivated.

In the event of a malfunction when 

changing into reverse gear, this warning 

lamp lights up on the instrument panel, 

accompanied by the display of a message and 

an audible signal (short beep).

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

This warning lamp lights up on the 

instrument panel with the message 

"

With the engine running, these systems allow 

views of your vehicle’s close surroundings to be 

displayed on the touch screen using one camera 

for Visiopark 1 and two cameras for Visiopark 2.

 

 

 

 

The screen is divided into two parts with a 

contextual view and a view from above the 

vehicle in its close surroundings.

The parking sensors supplement the information 

on the view from above the vehicle.

Various contextual views may be displayed:

–  Standard view.

–  180° view.

–  Zoom view.

AUTO mode is activated by default.

In this mode, the system chooses the best 

view to display (standard or zoom).

You can change the type of view at any time 

during a manoeuvre.

►  Press the button in the bottom left-hand 

corner of the touch screen.

►  Select the type of view:

• "

Standard view

".

• "

180° view

".

• "

Zoom view

".

• "

AUTO view

".

The display is immediately updated with the type 

of view selected.

The system status is not saved when the ignition 

is switched off.

Operating principle

 

 

Using one or two cameras, the close 

surroundings of the vehicle are recorded whilst 

manoeuvring at low speed.

An image from above your vehicle in its close 

surroundings is reconstructed (represented 

between the brackets) in real time and as the 

manoeuvre progresses.

It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when 

parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle 

to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the 

vehicle remains stationary for too long.

With Visiopark 2, the image is created using 

both cameras, when going forward and when 

reversing.

When the function is activated, it is possible 

that the view from above is not displayed. If 

the system is activated when the vehicle has 

already moved, the view from above can be fully 

displayed.

Park Assist

For more information, refer to the 

General recommendations on the use 

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

This system provides active parking assistance: 

it detects a parking space then operates the 

steering system to park in this space.

With a 

manual gearbox

, the driver manages the 

accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch.

With an 

automatic gearbox

, the driver manages 

the accelerator, brakes and gears.

During phases of entry into and exit from a 

parking space, the system provides visual and 

audible information to the driver in order to make 

the manoeuvres safe. Several forward and 

reverse manoeuvres may be required.

At any time, the driver can take back control by 

holding the steering wheel.

 

 

The Park Assist system provides assistance for 

the following manoeuvres:

A.

Entry into a "parallel" parking space

B.

Exit from a "parallel" parking space

C.

Entry into a "bay" parking space

The Park Assist system cannot operate 

with the engine switched off.

When Park Assist is activated, it prevents 

Stop & Start from going into STOP mode. In 

STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts 

the engine.

The Park Assist system takes control of 

the steering for a maximum of 4 

manoeuvring cycles. It is deactivated after 

these 4 cycles. If the vehicle is not positioned 

correctly, take back control to complete the 

manoeuvre.

The sequence of manoeuvres and the 

driving instructions are displayed in the 

instrument panel.

The assistance is activated: the display 

of this symbol and a speed limit 

indicate that the steering manoeuvres are 

controlled by the system: do not touch the 

steering wheel.

The assistance is deactivated: the 

display of this symbol indicates that the 

steering manoeuvres are no longer controlled 

by the system: take over the steering.

Activation of Park Assist deactivates the 

Blind spot monitoring.

The Parking sensors function is not 

available during parking space 

measurement. It intervenes later when 

manoeuvring to warn that the vehicle is 

approaching an obstacle: the audible signal 

becomes continuous when the obstacle is 

less than 30 centimetres away.

If the Parking sensors function has 

been deactivated, it will be automatically 

reactivated during the assisted manoeuvring 

phases.

During parking and exit from parking 

manoeuvres, the Visiopark 1 - Visiopark 

2 functions may come into operation. They 

allow better monitoring of the surroundings of 

the vehicle, by displaying additional 

information in the touch screen.

For more information on the 

Visiopark 

1 - Visiopark 2

 functions, refer to the 

corresponding section.

In some circumstances, the sensors may 

not detect small obstacles located in their 

blind spots.

Any object exceeding the size of the vehicle 

(e.g. roof ladder, towball) is not taken 

into account by the Park Assist during a 

manoeuvre.

172

Driving

Always check the surroundings of the 

vehicle before starting a manoeuvre.

If the lateral distance between the vehicle and 

the space is too great, the system may not be 

able to measure the space.

During manoeuvring phases, the steering 

wheel performs rapid turns: do not hold 

the steering wheel or put your hands between 

the spokes of the steering wheel.

Beware of any object likely to block the 

manoeuvre (e.g. loose clothing, scarves, ties) 

- risk of injury!

Compatibility of fuels

 

 

Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard 

containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol 

respectively.

 

 

Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734 

and EN16709 standards and containing up to 

7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester 

respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even 

occasionally, imposes special maintenance 

conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".

 

 

Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940 

standard.

The use of any other type of (bio) fuel 

(e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal 

oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk 

of damaging the engine and fuel system!

The only fuel additives authorised for use 

are those that meet the B715001 (Petrol) 

or B715000 (Diesel) standards.

Diesel at low temperature

At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the 

formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel 

fuels could prevent the engine from operating 

correctly. In these temperature conditions, use 

winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank 

more than 50 % full.

At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid 

problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle 

under shelter (heated garage).

Travelling abroad

Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s 

engine.

In certain countries, the use of a particular 

fuel may be required (specific octane rating, 

specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct 

operation of the engine.

For all additional information, consult a dealer.

Refuelling

Fuel tank capacity: 

approximately 53 litres (Petrol, 

Diesel or Hybrid) or 43 litres 

(Rechargeable hybrid).
Fuel tank capacity: 

approximately 56 litres.

Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.

Low fuel level

When the low fuel level is reached, this 

warning lamp lights up on the instrument 

panel, accompanied by the display of a message 

and an audible signal. When it first comes on, 

about 6 litres

 of fuel remain.

Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp 

appears every time the ignition is switched on, 

accompanied by the message and the audible 

signal. When driving, this message and audible 

signal are repeated with increasing frequency as 

the fuel level drops towards 

0

.

You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid 

running out of fuel.

For more information on 

Running out of fuel 

(Diesel)

, refer to the corresponding section.

A small arrow by the warning lamp 

indicates which side of the vehicle the 

fuel filler flap is located on.

Stop & Start / e-Auto mode

Never refuel with the engine in STOP 

mode or in stand-by; you must switch off the 

ignition.

Refuelling

Any addition of fuel must be in quantities of at 

least 10 litres, in order to be registered by the 

fuel gauge.

Opening the filler flap may create a noise caused 

by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely 

normal, resulting from the sealing of the fuel 

system.

176

Practical information

The filler cap is built into the filler flap or must be 

unscrewed (depending on version).

To refuel in complete safety:

► 

Always switch off the engine.

 

 

►  To open the filler flap, press the flap opening 

button for more than 2 seconds or, with the 

vehicle unlocked, press the rear of the filler flap 

(depending on version).

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles

After pressing the button on the 

dashboard, the filler flap may not open for 

several minutes. A sound is emitted when the 

filler flap opens.

If the flap becomes stuck, press and hold 

the button on the dashboard for more than 

3 seconds.

►  Select a pump that delivers the correct fuel 

type for the vehicle's engine (see a reminder 

label on the inside of the filler flap).

 

 

►  Turn the filler cap to the left, remove it 

and place it on its support on the filler flap 

(depending on version).

►  Insert the filler nozzle and push it in as far as 

possible before starting to refuel (to minimise the 

risk of splashing).

►  Fill the tank.

Do not continue after the nozzle’s third cut-

out. Doing so may cause malfunctions.

►  Put the filler cap back in place and turn it to 

the right (depending on version).

►  Push the fuel filler flap to close it.

The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, 

which helps to reduce the level of harmful 

emissions in the exhaust gases.

For petrol engines, you must use unleaded 

fuel.

The filler neck is narrower, allowing only 

unleaded petrol nozzles to be inserted.

If you have put in the wrong fuel for 

the vehicle, you must have the fuel 

tank drained and filled with the correct fuel 

before starting the engine.

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)

(Depending on country of sale.)

This mechanical device prevents filling the tank 

of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.

Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention 

device is visible when the filler cap is removed.

Operation

 

 

When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the 

fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into 

contact with the flap. The system remains closed 

and prevents filling.

Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type 

filler nozzle.

The misfuel prevention device does not 

prevent filling with a jerrycan, regardless 

of the fuel type.

177

Practical information

7

Travelling abroad

As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be 

different in other countries, the presence 

of the misfuel prevention device may make 

refuelling impossible.

Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to 

check with a PEUGEOT dealer if the vehicle 

is suitable for the distribution equipment of the 

countries visited.

Charging the traction 

battery (Rechargeable 

hybrid)

For a full charge, follow the charging procedure 

without interrupting it, until it stops automatically. 

Charging may be performed either immediately 

(by default) or deferred.

Deferred charging is set via the touch 

screen or the 

MYPEUGEOT APP

 

application.

When the vehicle is connected, the following 

information is displayed on the instrument panel:

–  Traction battery charge status (%).

–  Remaining range (miles or km).

–  Estimated charging time (calculation may take 

a few seconds).

–  Charging speed (miles or km gained per hour).

After the instrument panel has been put into 

standby mode, this information can be displayed 

again by unlocking the vehicle or opening a door.

It is also possible to monitor the charging 

progress using the 

MYPEUGEOT APP

 

application.

For more information on 

Remotely 

operable additional functions

, refer to the 

corresponding section.

Low charging / Driving

Driving when the charge level of the 

traction battery is too low can lead to the 

vehicle breaking down and can lead to 

accidents or serious injuries. ALWAYS make 

sure the traction battery has a sufficient 

charge level.

Low charging / Parking

If the outside temperature is negative, 

it is recommended not to park your vehicle 

outside for several hours at a low charging 

(less than 20%).

Vehicle in storage for more than 

1 month

In the event of a long period of non-use of 

the vehicle (beyond 4 weeks) without the 

possibility of charging when restarting, the 

self-discharge may make it impossible to 

restart if the traction battery charge level 

is a low or very low, especially at negative 

ambient temperatures. ALWAYS make sure 

that the traction battery has a charge between 

20% and 40% if you do not plan to use your 

vehicle for several weeks.

Do not connect the charging cable.

Always park the vehicle in a place with 

temperatures between -10°C and 30°C 

(parking in a place with extreme temperatures 

can damage the traction battery).

Refer to the 

12 V battery/Accessory 

batteries - With rechargeable hybrid 

engines

 section for the battery disconnection 

procedure.

Precautions

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles have 

been developed in accordance with the 

recommendations for maximum electromagnetic 

field limits established by the ICNIRP 

(International Commission on Non-Ionizing 

Radiation Protection - 1998 Guidelines).

Wearers of pacemakers or equivalent 

devices should consult a doctor to 

enquire about any applicable precautionary 

measures, or contact the manufacturer of their 

implanted electronic medical device to check that 

it is guaranteed to operate in an environment 

compliant with the ICNIRP guidelines.

If in doubt

, during charging, do not remain 

inside or near the vehicle, near the charging 

cable or the charging unit, even for a short time.

Before charging

Depending on the context:

►  Have a professional check that the 

electrical system to be used complies with 

applicable standards and is compatible with 

the vehicle.

►  Have a professional electrician install 

a dedicated domestic power socket or 

accelerated charging unit (Wallbox) 

compatible with the vehicle.

Use the charging cable supplied with the 

vehicle.

For more information, contact a PEUGEOT 

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Towing device

Load distribution

► 

Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 

heaviest items are as close as possible to the 

axle, and the nose weight approaches the 

maximum permitted without exceeding it.

Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing 

engine performance. The maximum towable load 

must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of 

altitude.

Use genuine towing devices and wiring 

harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. We 

recommend having them fitted by a 

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, they must 

still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle 

manufacturer's instructions.

Important

: if the vehicle has a motorised 

tailgate and Hands-Free Tailgate Access 

function, and a towing device has been fitted 

outside the PEUGEOT dealer network, it 

is essential to visit a PEUGEOT dealer or 

a qualified workshop to have the detection 

system recalibrated - risk of malfunction of the 

Hands-Free Tailgate Access function.

Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions 

are automatically deactivated while an 

approved towing system is in use.

For more information about driving with a 

towing device fitted to a trailer and associated 

with the 

Trailer stability assist

, refer to the 

corresponding section.

Roof bars

As a safety measure and to avoid 

damaging the roof, it is essential to use 

193

Practical information

7

transverse roof bars approved for your 

vehicle.

Observe the instructions on fitting and use 

contained in the guide supplied with the roof 

bars.

Maximum load distributed over the 

transverse roof bars, for a loading height 

not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier): 

80 kg

.

As this value may change, please verify the 

maximum load quoted in the guide supplied 

with the roof bars.

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 vehicle.

Be sure to refer to national legislation in order 

to comply with the regulations for transporting 

objects that are longer than the vehicle.

Fitting on longitudinal bars

 

 

The transverse bars must be fixed at the 

markings located on the longitudinal bars.

Direct fitting on roof

 

 

The transverse bars must only be fixed at the 

four anchorage points located on the roof frame. 

These points are concealed by the vehicle doors 

when the doors are closed.

The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be 

inserted into the opening of each anchorage 

point.

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 security and tight 

fastening of the roof bars, at least before each 

trip.

Remove the roof bars once they are no longer 

needed.

Sunroof

Check that the load does not protrude 

below the roof bars, so that it does not 

impede movement of the sunroof - risk of 

major damage!

Snow chains

In wintry conditions, snow chains improve 

traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle 

when braking.

Snow chains must be fitted only to the 

front wheels. They must never be fitted to 

"space-saver" type spare wheels.

Observe the legislation in force in your 

country relating to the use of snow 

chains and maximum authorised speeds.

Use only chains designed to be fitted to the type 

of wheel fitted to the vehicle:
