Retractable roof

The operation of the roof is the
sole responsibility of the driver.
To avoid any risk of injury when
operating the roof, ensure that no
one is standing near the moving
parts.
You are strongly advised not to op-
erate the roof in strong winds. When washing your vehicle:


- lock the vehicle using the re-
mote control or the key,

- avoid spraying the upper part
of the windows,

- keep the end of the high pres-
sure nozzle at least 1 metre
from the windows and door
seals.
When the vehicle has been
washed or after rain, wait until the
roof has dried before opening it. It is preferable to operate the roof
with the engine running and the
vehicle stationary. Wait until the
end of operation message ap-
pears in the multifunction screen
before moving off.
On the move, the roof can only be
operated below 6 mph (10 km/h),
driving smoothly on a level sur-
face.
Preliminary conditions


)
Start the engine.

)
You must ensure that:


- the electric windows are initialised
(see corresponding section),

- the ambient temperature is higher
than -15 °C.

Precautions to be taken before
operating the roof


)
Park the vehicle on level ground.

)
Check that no objects could hinder
the operation of the roof:


- nothing should be placed on the
moving rear shelf 1
, on the boot
screen 2
or on the side trims 3
,

- if luggage is transported in the
boot, it must not lift the boot
screen,

- any objects, such as a jacket or
umbrella, placed in the boot, must
be secured using the luggage re-
taining net 4
.

is se-
cured fi rmly.

)
Close the boot correctly.
After the roof has been operated
fully four times in succession, the
system switches to protection
mode temporarily to avoid damage
to the roof motors. Let the system
rest for approximately ten minutes;
if you are unable to operate the roof
after this time, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

DRIVING

Moving off



)
Apply the parking brake.

Start the engine.
If this procedure is not followed, there
is an audible signal, accompanied by a
message in the screen.

If position N
is engaged inadver-
tently while driving, allow the en-
gine to return to idle then engage
position D
to accelerate.
When the engine is running at
idle, with the brakes released, if
position R
, D
or M
is selected, the
vehicle moves even without the ac-
celerator being pressed.
When the engine is running, never
leave children in the vehicle with-
out supervision.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the park-

ing the brake pedal.


Automatic operation



)
Select position D
for automatic

changing of the six gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-
adaptive mode, without any intervention
on the part of the driver. It continuously
selects the most suitable gear accord-
ing to the style of driving, the profi le of
the road and the load in the vehicle.

D
and the gears selected automatically
appear in succession in the instrument
panel.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the lever, press the accelera-
tor pedal down fully (kick down). The
gearbox changes down automatically
or maintains the gear selected until the
maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effi cient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply,
the gearbox will not change to a higher
gear for safety reasons. Never select position N
while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P

less the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary.

Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P
or N
to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle.

Operating fault


There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the lever from posi-
tion P
to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption during
a long period stationary with the
engine running (traffi c jam, etc.),
place the gear lever in position N

and apply the parking brake.
If the lever is not in position P
,
when the driver’s door is opened
or approximately 45 seconds after
the ignition is switched off, there is
an audible signal is heard accom-
panied by a message.


)
Return the lever to position P
;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
When the ignition is on, the il-
lumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the mul-
tifunction screen, indicates a gearbox
malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches
to emergency mode and is locked in
3rd gear. You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P
to R
and
from N
to R
. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed a speed of 60 mph
(100 km/h), local speed restrictions per-
mitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
