In
all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch, or take the electronic

When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and start the vehicle.
Driving
with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the
e

An aero-acoustic deflector is available to improve the acoustic comfort of occupants of
t
he vehicle in certain driving conditions
(high

t
he passenger compartment resulting from the
d

d
eflector is deployed.
On

au
tomatically.
Aero-acoustic deflector Precautions for use

hether open or closed.
Never
sit on or place objects on the
t
ransverse roof support when the roof
is

a
ccumulations of snow on the roof.
To

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
