Fitting Roof Bars - PEUGEOT 3008 Handbook

Fitting roof bars

As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and
use contained in the guide supplied with
the roof bars.
Fitting on longitudinal
bars
You must attach the transverse bars at the
engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.
Fitting directly to the roof
You must attach the transverse bars only at
the four anchorage points located at the edge
of the roof. These points are hidden by the
vehicle's doors when closed.
The roof bar fixings include a stud which
must be fitted to the aperture at each of the
anchorage points.
Practical information
Maximum load on the roof bars, evenly
spread and with a load height not
exceeding 40 cm (except for bicycle
carriers): 80 kg.
For more information, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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 vehicle's anchorage points.
For transporting objects which are
longer than the vehicle, refer to local
legislation.
Recommendations
- Distribute the load evenly, avoiding
overloading on one side.
- Arrange the heaviest part of the load
as close as possible to the roof.
- Lash the load securely.
- Drive gently: the vehicle will be
more susceptible to the effects of
side winds and the stability of the
vehicle may be affected.
- On a long journey, check the
security of the load at every stop.
- Remove the roof bars once they are
no longer needed.
