RETRACTABLE GLASS ROOF: conditions of use (1/2)
Conditions of use
– Immobilise the vehicle on flat, level ground (not with two wheels on a
kerb, for example) away from traffic.
– Perform the procedure with the engine running (risk of battery dis-
charging) and the vehicle stationary.
– To prevent the hydraulic system overheating, it is automatically cut
off after about 3 minutes of use. It
becomes operational again after a
maximum of about 10 minutes.
– Never retract the roof into the lug- gage compartment when it is wet.
– Make sure that the roof seals and run channels are clean to allow rain-
water to drain away quickly.
– Ensure that no luggage is placed above the luggage separator in the
luggage compartment.
Do not drive with the roof
in the intermediate position
(neither open nor closed).
Do not open or close the
roof in the wind speed of more than
25 mph (40 km/h) (risk of damage
to the roof).
To avoid all risk of injury,
ensure that nobody is in
the proximity of the moving
parts.
When opening or closing the roof,
ensure that nothing interferes with
the moving parts (roof and luggage
compartment lid).
– Do not operate the roof in minus temperatures.
– If there is any ice or snow prevent- ing the windows from lowering when
the roof is operating, this ice or snow
must be removed to free the win-
dows.
Note: the operation is only possible
when the vehicle is stationary.
Special feature of vehicles equipped
with parking distance control
The system is designed to aid parking,
and under no circumstances guaran-
tees a sufficient distance to operate the
retractable roof. Before operating the
roof, ensure that the surrounding space
is greater than the minimum required
distance.
In all cases, a continuous sound indi-
cates that the roof cannot move.

3.4
RETRACTABLE GLASS ROOF: opening
Before opening the roof
– Perform the procedure with the engine running (risk of battery dis-
charging) and the vehicle stationary.
– Ensure that the boot divider 1 is well
tensioned and that the boot is fully
closed.
Note: If one of these conditions is
not met, the message “Roof: shut
boot blind” or “Roof: see handbook”
appears on the instrument panel.
– Ensure that no object has been left in the part reserved for the roof (above
the divider 1).
– Make sure that no object is pushing up the boot divider 1.
– Make sure that no object projects above the boot divider 1.
– Check that no object has been left on the roof, on the luggage compart-
ment lid or on the parcel shelf behind
the rear headrests.
– Remove any ice or snow (risk of seal damage).
To avoid all risk of injury,
ensure that nobody is in
the proximity of the moving
parts.
When opening or closing the roof,
ensure that nothing interferes with
the moving parts (roof and luggage
compartment lid).

tion raises all the windows.
Release the switch. You can now drive.
Before closing the roof
– Perform the procedure with the engine running (risk of battery dis-
charging) and the vehicle stationary.
– Ensure that the luggage compart- ment divider is well tensioned and
that the tailgate is fully closed.

the battery.
– Do not place metal objects on the battery to avoid creating a short cir-
cuit between the terminals.
– Always wait at least one minute after the engine has been switched off
before disconnecting a battery.

cause an immediate explosion, and
charge the battery in a well-venti-
lated area. Risk of serious injury.
Handle the battery with care
