An aero-acoustic deflector is available to improve  the  acoustic  comfort  of  occupants  of Â
t
he  vehicle  in  certain  driving  conditions Â
(high
 speed),  by  reducing  the  turbulence  in Â
t
he  passenger  compartment  resulting  from  the Â
d
isplacement  of  air.
On
 opening  the  roof,  the  aero-acoustic Â
d
eflector  is  deployed.
On
 closing  the  roof,  the  deflector  folds  away Â
au
tomatically.
Aero-acoustic deflector Precautions for use
Never place objects on the roof, w
hether  open  or  closed.
Never
 sit  on  or  place  objects  on  the Â
t
ransverse roof support when the roof
is
 open. In
 the  event  of  prolonged  storage  of  the  v
ehicle  outside,  it  is  recommended  that Â
t
he  roof  be  protected  with  a  cover.
To
 avoid  damaging  the  roof,  do Â
n
ot  open  it  under  snowy  or  frosty Â
c
onditions.
Never
 use  sharp  tools  to  remove  ice  or Â
a
ccumulations  of  snow  on  the  roof.
To
 limit  the  creation  of  folds  in  the  roof Â
f
abric,  it  is  recommended  that  the  roof Â
n
ot  be  left  open  for  long  periods.
The
 vehicle's  air  conditioning  system Â
s
hould  not  be  operated  while  the  roof Â
i
s  open. It
 is  recommended  that  the  roof  be Â
c
losed  when  the  vehicle  is  left  parked.
Even
 if  the  roof  is  closed,  it  is  prudent Â
n
ot  to  leave  any  valuable  objects  inside Â
t
he  vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, switch off
the
 ignition  and  remove  the  key  (take Â
t
he  electronic  key  with  you)  to  avoid  any Â
u
nwanted  operation  of  the  roof.

Recommendations on care of your vehicle
The general recommendations on the care of your vehicle are given in the maintenance and warranty guide.
Fabric roof
To avoid damaging the roof.
-  n ever  use  a  high  pressure  jet  wash,
-
Â
n
ever  wash  your  vehicle  in  an Â
a
utomatic  roller-brush  car  wash.Remove
 bird  droppings  or  tree  resins  as Â
t
heir  acidity  may  damage  the  roof.Never
 use  chemical  products, Â
d
etergents,  stain  removers,  solvents, Â
a
lcohol,  petrol, ...  to  clean  the  roof.
We  recommend  that  you  clean  the Â
a
ero-acoustic  defector  with care
Â
using Â
a
 soft  brush.
Before
 washing  the  fabric  roof,  first Â
r
emove  as  much  dirt  as  possible  from Â
t
he  sur face  using  a  soft  brush  or  a Â
v
acuum  cleaner.
To waterproof the roof, use only special
waterproofing  products  for  fabric  roofs.
To
 remove  marks,  sponge  them Â
(but  never  rub  them)  using  soapy  water, Â
t
hen  immediately  rinse  with  clean  water.
Allow  the  vehicle  to  dry  in  a  shaded Â
a
rea  and  avoid  direct  exposure  to Â
t
he sun. For
 the  regular  maintenance  of  the Â
f
abric  roof  and  to  conserve  its  original Â
a
ppearance,  we  recommend  an Â
e
cological  "Fly  remover  -  Fabric  roof Â
