Operating zones

Roof positions

Operation of the roof is possible:

-

engine running, or

ignition on.

In order to maintain the state of charge

of the battery, it is recommended that the

roof be operated with the engine running

There are two operating zones:

Zone A: horizontal operating zone, in manual

or automatic mode.

Zone B: vertical operating zone, in automatic

mode only.

Position 0: Roof completely closed.

Position 1: Stop position for automatic roof

closing.

Position 2: Roof open horizontally.

Position 3: Roof completely open.

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.

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.

Aero-acoustic deflector

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.

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.

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 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 2

You can then raise the boot lid.

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.

During an opening or closing operation of the roof in zone B following an "anti-panic"

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

position 2 or position 3

If the roof is position 3, an action on the boot opening control causes the closing of the roof

to position 2. When the roof has reached this position, the boot lid will be released. You can

then raise the boot lid.

Practical information

Recommendations on the care of your vehicle

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

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.

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.

We recommend that you wash

your vehicle in an automatic roller car

wash.

To waterproof the roof, use only special

waterproofing products for fabric roofs.

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.

Aero-acoustic deflector

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.

We recommend that you clean the

aero-acoustic defector with care using

a soft brush.

Allow the vehicle to dry in a shaded

area and avoid direct exposure to

the sun.
