Electric fabric roof*

Your vehicle may be fitted with an electrically operated fabric roof.

Electric opening and closing

Operation of the roof is possible with

the ignition on and when driving.

In order to maintain the state of charge of

the battery, it is recommended that the roof

be operated with the engine running.

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.

The roof is opened and closed by pressing

the control at the interior lamp, in the opening

direction 1 and in the closing direction 2.

The asymmetric shape of the opening

control avoids closing the roof by

mistake.

Position of the roof

Operation of the roof could cause

serious injuries: 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 and that

no object could interfere with the

operation.

Position 0: Roof completely closed.

Position 1: Automatic stop position for

the roof.

Position 2: Roof completely open.

* Depending on version.

Operating fault

The closing manoeuvre of the roof

could cause serious injuries: take

particular care with children.

In the event of an electrical fault,

contact a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

If the roof does not close correctly:

-

check that nothing is blocking the roof

(ignition off),

-

repeat the closing command (with the

engine running).

If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Aero-acoustic deflector

Precautions for use

Never place objects on the roof,

whether open or closed.

Never sit on or place objects on the

transverse roof support when the roof

is open.

In the event of prolonged storage of the

vehicle outside, it is recommended that

the roof be protected with a cover.

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.

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.

When you leave the vehicle, switch off

the ignition and remove the key (take

the electronic key with you) to avoid any

unwanted operation of the roof.

An aero-acoustic deflector is available to

improve the acoustic comfort of occupants of

the vehicle in certain driving conditions

(high speed), by reducing the turbulence in

the passenger compartment resulting from the

displacement of air.

To limit the creation of folds in the roof

fabric, it is recommended that the roof

not be left open for long periods.

The vehicle's air conditioning system

should not be operated while the roof

is open.

On opening the roof, the aero-acoustic

deflector is deployed.

On closing the roof, the deflector folds away

automatically.

Fabric roof

Before washing the fabric roof, first

remove as much dirt as possible from

the surface using a soft brush or a

vacuum cleaner.

To remove marks, sponge them

(but never rub them) using soapy water,

then immediately rinse with clean water.

Never use chemical products,

detergents, stain removers, solvents,

alcohol, petrol, ... to clean the roof.

To avoid damaging the roof.

To waterproof the roof, use only special

-

never use a high pressure jet wash,

never wash your vehicle in an

automatic roller-brush car wash.

waterproofing products for fabric roofs.

Remove bird droppings or tree resins as

their acidity may damage the roof.

Aero-acoustic deflector

Allow the vehicle to dry in a shaded

area and avoid direct exposure to

the sun.

For the regular maintenance of the

fabric roof and to conserve its original

appearance, we recommend an

ecological "Fly remover - Fabric roof

cleaner" from the "TECHNATURE"

range. To obtain this product go to a

CITROËN dealer.

We recommend that you clean the

aero-acoustic defector with care using

a soft brush.
