  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.

  During complete opening of the roof, 
the rear screen comes down onto the 
rear shelf. Ensure that no object is left 
on the shelf which might damage the 
rear screen or the roof.  
  Automatic opening of the roof in zone  B  
is not possible if the boot is open. 
 In the event of a problem, check that 
the boot is fully closed  .   During an operation in zone  
B , an 
instruction to stop the roof is not 
possible. 
 Pressing the control reverses the 
direction of movement of the roof, 
whichever direction the control is 
pressed. 
 This "anti-panic" function allows a quick 
change in direction of movement of the 
roof if suddenly required.   
     Release the control: opening of the roof 
continues up to the maximum horizontal 
position (position   2 ).       In zone  
B , a press on the control opens the 
roof completely (position   3 ).     
  Closing
