The sun roof can be slid back over the rear panel so that all the space vertically above the front occupants is open to the elements.
A defl ector moves into position automatically when the sun roof is opened.
Turn the control to the left to slide the sun roof (9 opening positions).
It is controlled electrically and sequentially, by a rotary switch with nine open-ing positions located on the roof lining between the two front sun visors.

These can be positioned manually whether the sun roof is open or closed.
When the sun roof is opened, the front blind deploys automatically.
It is not possible to close the front blind with the roof open.

PAY ESPECIAL ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN OPERATING THE SUN ROOF
Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even if for a short time. When the driver actions the sun roof control, he should fi rst make sure that passengers are not obstructing the closing of the sun roof.
In the event of anything being caught by the sun roof clos ing, you must reverse the roof movement. To do that, reverse the position of the control concerned.
The driver should ensure that passengers use the sun roof correctly.
If the sun roof opens randomly when it should be closing, set the control to closing and keep it pressed until the sun roof is closed fully.
Warning: During this manœuvre, the anti-pinch does not operate.
In the event of a malfunction, consult a CITROËN dealerNote: At very high speeds: a long press on the control is necessary to close the sun roof.
