e   operated   with   the   engine running.
Operation of the roof is possible with
the
  ignition   on   and   when   driving.
Operation
  of   the   roof   could   cause  
s

erious   injuries:   before   operating   the  
r

oof, ensure that no occupant of the
vehicle
  or   person   outside   the   vehicle  
c

ould   be   subject   to   any   risk   related  
t

o   the   movement   of   the   roof   and   that

During
  operation   of   the   roof   with   just  
t

he   ignition   on,   starting   the   engine   may  
c

ause   the   roof   to   stop,   depending   on  
t

he   state   of   charge   of   the   battery.   To

An aero-acoustic deflector is available to improve   the   acoustic   comfort   of   occupants   of  
t

he   vehicle   in   certain   driving   conditions  
(high
  speed),   by   reducing   the   turbulence   in  
t

he   passenger   compartment   resulting   from   the  
d

isplacement   of   air.
On
  opening   the   roof,   the   aero-acoustic  
d

eflector   is   deployed.
On
  closing   the   roof,   the   deflector   folds   away  
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  
t

ransverse roof support when the roof
is
  open. In
  the   event   of   prolonged   storage   of   the  v
ehicle   outside,   it   is   recommended   that  
t

he   roof   be   protected   with   a   cover.
To
  avoid   damaging   the   roof,   do  
n

ot   open   it   under   snowy   or   frosty  
c

onditions.
Never
  use   sharp   tools   to   remove   ice   or  
a

ccumulations   of   snow   on   the   roof.
To
  limit   the   creation   of   folds   in   the   roof  
f

abric,   it   is   recommended   that   the   roof  
n

ot   be   left   open   for   long   periods.
The
  vehicle's   air   conditioning   system  
s

hould   not   be   operated   while   the   roof  
i

s   open. It
  is   recommended   that   the   roof   be  
c

losed   when   the   vehicle   is   left   parked.
Even
  if   the   roof   is   closed,   it   is   prudent  
n

ot   to   leave   any   valuable   objects   inside  
t

he   vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, switch off
the
  ignition   and   remove   the   key   (take  
t

he   electronic   key   with   you)   to   avoid   any  
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,
-
 
n
ever   wash   your   vehicle   in   an  
a

utomatic   roller-brush   car   wash.Remove
  bird   droppings   or   tree   resins   as  
t

heir   acidity   may   damage   the   roof.Never
  use   chemical   products,  
d

etergents,   stain   removers,   solvents,  
a

lcohol,   petrol, ...   to   clean   the   roof.
We   recommend   that   you   clean   the  
a

ero-acoustic   defector   with care
 
using  
a

  soft   brush.
Before
  washing   the   fabric   roof,   first  
r

emove   as   much   dirt   as   possible   from  
t

he   sur face   using   a   soft   brush   or   a  
v

acuum   cleaner.
To waterproof the roof, use only special
waterproofing   products   for   fabric   roofs.
To
  remove   marks,   sponge   them  
(but   never   rub   them)   using   soapy   water,  
t

hen   immediately   rinse   with   clean   water.
Allow   the   vehicle   to   dry   in   a   shaded  
a

rea   and   avoid   direct   exposure   to  
t

he sun. For
  the   regular   maintenance   of   the  
f

abric   roof   and   to   conserve   its   original  
a

ppearance,   we   recommend   an  
e

cological   "Fly   remover   -   Fabric   roof
