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: - engine running, or - ignition on.
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.
Operating zones
There are two operating zones: Zone A : horizontal operating zone, in manual or automatic mode. Zone B : vertical operating zone, in automatic mode only.
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 inter fere with the operation.
Roof positions
Position 0 : Roof completely closed. Position 1 : Stop position for automatic roof closing. Position 2 : Roof open horizontally. Position 3 : Roof completely open.

6Access
Automatic mode
 In position 3 , press the control to begin closing the roof.

Precautions for use
Never place objects on the roof, whether open or closed.
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. Never use scrapers or aerosol products to remove ice that may have formed on the rear screen. Avoid operating the heated rear screen when the roof is completely open (risk of overheating).
To limit the creation of folds in the roof fabric, it is recommended that the roof not be left open for long periods. Operation of the vehicle's air conditioning system is not recommended while the roof is open.
Never place objects on the transverse roof support when 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, remove the ignition key to avoid any unwanted operation of the roof.
If your vehicle has a voice command system, this may not work as well when driving with the roof open.
Protection of the roof opening and closing electric motors: during repeated opening and closing of the roof, the electric motors may become too hot and then no longer allow the roof to be opened or closed. Allow the motors to cool down by not operating the roof for ten minutes.
