An aero-acoustic deflector is available to improve the acoustic comfort of occupants of
t
he vehicle in certain driving conditions
(high
speed), by reducing the turbulence in
t
he passenger compartment resulting from the
d
isplacement of air.
On
opening the roof, the aero-acoustic
d
eflector is deployed.
On
closing the roof, the deflector folds away
au
tomatically.
Aero-acoustic deflector Precautions for use
Never place objects on the roof, w
hether open or closed.
Never
sit on or place objects on the
t
ransverse roof support when the roof
is
open. In
the event of prolonged storage of the v
ehicle outside, it is recommended that
t
he roof be protected with a cover.
To
avoid damaging the roof, do
n
ot open it under snowy or frosty
c
onditions.
Never
use sharp tools to remove ice or
a
ccumulations of snow on the roof.
To
limit the creation of folds in the roof
f
abric, it is recommended that the roof
n
ot be left open for long periods.
The
vehicle's air conditioning system
s
hould not be operated while the roof
i
s open. It
is recommended that the roof be
c
losed when the vehicle is left parked.
Even
if the roof is closed, it is prudent
n
ot to leave any valuable objects inside
t
he vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, switch off
the
ignition and remove the key (take
t
he electronic key with you) to avoid any
u
nwanted 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.
- n ever use a high pressure jet wash,
-
n
ever wash your vehicle in an
a
utomatic roller-brush car wash.Remove
bird droppings or tree resins as
t
heir acidity may damage the roof.Never
use chemical products,
d
etergents, stain removers, solvents,
a
lcohol, petrol, ... to clean the roof.
We recommend that you clean the
a
ero-acoustic defector with care
using
a
soft brush.
Before
washing the fabric roof, first
r
emove as much dirt as possible from
t
he sur face using a soft brush or a
v
acuum 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,
t
hen immediately rinse with clean water.
Allow the vehicle to dry in a shaded
a
rea and avoid direct exposure to
t
he sun. For
the regular maintenance of the
f
abric roof and to conserve its original
a
ppearance, we recommend an
e
cological "Fly remover - Fabric roof

leaner" from the "TECHNATURE"
r
ange. To obtain this product go to a
C
ITROËN dealer.
