Precautions for use
Never place objects on the roof, whether open or closed.
In the event of prolonged storage of the vehicle outside, it is recommended that the roof be
protected with a cover. To avoid damaging the roof, do not open it under snowy or frosty conditions.
Never use sharp tools to remove ice or accumulations of snow on the roof.
Never use scrapers or aerosol products to remove ice that may have formed on the rear
screen.
Avoid operating the heated rear screen when the roof is completely open (risk of
overheating).
To limit the creation of folds in the roof fabric, it is recommended that the roof not be left
open for long periods.
