In order to maintain the state of charge
of the battery, it is recommended that the
roof be operated with the

engine running .

Operation of the roof is possible:
- engine running, or
-

ignition on.

During operation of the roof with just
the ignition on, starting the engine may
cause the roof to stop, depending on
the state of charge of the battery. To
have the roof continue the operation,
operate the control again after the
engine has started.

Operating zones

There are two operating zones:

Zone A : horizontal operating zone, in manual

or automatic mode.

Zone B : vertical operating zone, in automatic

mode only.

Before operating the roof, ensure that no occupant of the vehicle or person outside the
vehicle could be subject to any risk related to the movement of the roof or the rear screen
and that no object could interfere with the operation.

Roof positions

Position 0 : Roof completely closed.

Position 1 : Stop position for automatic roof

closing.

Position 2 : Roof open horizontally.

displacement of air.
On opening the roof, the aero-acoustic
deflector may be deployed if it is not secured.
On closing the roof, the deflector folds away
automatically.

 With the roof open, this deflector can be

folded away manually and secured at its
centre: press vertically down on the cross
member near the paddle at the top of the

speed is below about 70 mph (120 km/h),
exceeding this speed limitation leads to the
following situations, depending on the type of
roof operation in progress:
- an operation in progress in zone

A is

stopped,

The roof opening and closing control
operates up to about 70 mph (120 km/h).
Above this speed, a message in the
screen informs you that operation of the
roof is not possible (speed too high).

- an opening operation in progress in zone

B

is continued through to completion,

- a closing operation in progress in zone

B is

stopped and complete opening of the roof
to position

continued through to completion.

A new operation of the roof will be
possible as soon as the vehicle's speed
drops below about 70 mph (120 km/h).

If the roof stops in zone

Precautions for use

Never place objects on the roof, whether open or closed.

In the event of prolonged storage of the vehicle outside, it is recommended that the roof be

protected with a cover.

To avoid damaging the roof, do not open it under snowy or frosty conditions.

Never use sharp tools to remove ice or accumulations of snow on the roof.

Never use scrapers or aerosol products to remove ice that may have formed on the rear

screen.

Avoid operating the heated rear screen when the roof is completely open (risk of

overheating).
To limit the creation of folds in the roof fabric, it is recommended that the roof not be left

open for long periods.

Operation of the vehicle's air conditioning system is not recommended while the roof is

open.
Never place objects on the transverse roof support when the roof is open.

It is recommended that the roof be closed when the vehicle is left parked.

Even if the roof is closed, it is prudent not to leave any valuable objects inside

the vehicle.

When you leave the vehicle, remove the ignition key to avoid any unwanted operation

of the roof.
If your vehicle has a voice command system, this may not work as well when driving with

the roof open.
Protection of the roof opening and closing electric motors: during repeated opening and

closing of the roof, the electric motors may become too hot and then no longer allow the

roof to be opened or closed. Allow the motors to cool down by not operating the roof for

ten minutes.

Reinitialisation

Do not release the control during the
reinitialisation procedure.

If the roof is carrying out an opening operation in zone

B , an action on the boot opening

control causes the roof to close. The boot will be released when the roof reaches position

You can then raise the boot lid.

Conditions for opening the boot with the roof in zone B

To avoid interference between the boot and the roof in zone B, opening the boot depends on the position of the roof.

If the roof is carrying out a closing operation in zone

B , an action on the boot opening

control has no effect on the roof operation, but the boot will only be released once the roof
has reached position

2 . You can then raise the boot lid.

B following an "anti-panic"

function, the boot opening control is inhibited. It will work again once the roof has reached
position

Recommendations on the care of your vehicle

Remove bird droppings or tree resins
as their acidity may damage the roof.

To avoid damaging the roof, never use
a high pressure jet wash.

Never use chemical products,
detergents, stain removers, solvents,
alcohol, petrol, ... to clean the roof.

The general recommendations on the care of your vehicle are given in the maintenance and warranty guide.

Allow the vehicle to dry in a shaded
area and avoid direct exposure to
the sun.

We recommend that you wash
your vehicle in an automatic roller car
wash.

To remove marks, sponge them (but
never rub them) using soapy water,
then immediately rinse with clean
water.

To waterproof the roof, use only special
waterproofing products for fabric roofs.

Soft top

Before washing the soft top, first
remove as much dirt as possible from
the surface using a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner.

For the regular maintenance of the
soft top and to conserve its original
appearance, we recommend an
ecological "Fly remover - Soft top roof
cleaner" from the "TECHNATURE"
range. To obtain this product go to a
CITROËN dealer.

Aero-acoustic deflector

We recommend that you clean the
aero-acoustic defector

with care using

a soft brush.
