* Depending on version. Your vehicle may be fitted with an electrically operated fabric roof.
Electric fabric roof*
Electric opening and closing
The roof is opened and closed by pressing
the control at the interior lamp, in the opening
direction 1 and in the closing direction 2.
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 with
the ignition on and when driving.
Operation of the roof could cause
serious injuries: 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 and that
no object could inter fere with the
operation. 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.
The asymmetric shape of the opening
control avoids closing the roof by
mistake.
Position of the roof
Position 0 : Roof completely closed.
Position 1 : Automatic stop position for the roof.
