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.

Operating the roof when
driving
If a roof operation is started while the vehicle's

exceeding this speed limitation leads to the
following situations, depending on the type of
roof operation in progress:
- an operation in progress in zone A is
stopped, The roof opening and closing control
operates up to about 70 mph (120 km/h).
Above this speed, a message in the
screen informs you that operation of the
roof is not possible (speed too high). - an opening operation in progress in zone
B
is continued through to completion,
- a closing operation in progress in zone B is
stopped and complete opening of the roof
to position 3 is carried out automatically,
- an opening or closing operation in zone B
following an "anti-panic" function is
continued through to completion.
A new operation of the roof will be
possible as soon as the vehicle's speed
drops below about 70 mph (120 km/h). If the roof stops in zone
B , a message in the
screen will ask you to stop the operation of the
roof immediately.
