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

Electric fabric roof*

Electric opening and closing

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.

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 with
the ignition on and when driving.

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.

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 asymmetric shape of the opening
control avoids closing the roof by
mistake.

engine running).

If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Protection of the electric motors
used for opening and closing the

roof, the electric motors may become too warm
and no longer allow the roof to be opened or
closed. Allow the motors to cool down with no
operation of the roof for 10 minutes.

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 is deployed.
On closing the roof, the deflector folds away
automatically.

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.

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.

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.

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, switch off
the ignition and remove the key (take
the electronic key with you) to avoid any
unwanted operation of the roof.

Recommendations on care of your vehicle

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

Fabric roof

To avoid damaging the roof.
- never use a high pressure jet wash,
- never wash your vehicle in an

automatic roller-brush car wash.

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

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

We recommend that you clean the
aero-acoustic defector with care using
a soft brush.

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

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

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

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.

travel of the seat, so as to avoid the risk of jamming the seat caused by the presence of
objects on the floor behind the seat or rear passengers. If the seat jams, stop the movement
immediately.
