Soft top

Your vehicle is fitted with an electric soft top roof.

The roof is opened and closed by pressing

the control at the interior lamp, in the opening

direction 1and in the closing direction 2.

Electric opening and

closing

Access

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 interfere with the operation.

Roof positions

Position 0: Roof completely closed.

Position 1: Stop position for automatic roof

closing.

Position 2: Roof open horizontally.

Position 3: Roof completely open.

During an operation in zone B, an

instruction to stop the roof is not

Access

Aero-acoustic deflector Operating the roof when

driving

If a roof operation is started before the vehicle's

speed is above about 70 mph (120 km/h),

exceeding this speed limitation leads to the

following situations, depending on the type of

roof operation in progress:

- an operation in progress in zone Ais

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 aero-acoustic deflector is available to

improve the acoustic comfort of occupants of

the vehicle in certain driving conditions (high

speed), by reducing the turbulence in the

passenger compartment resulting from the

displacement of air.

On opening the roof, the aero-acoustic

deflector may be deployed if it is not secured.

On closing the roof, the deflector folds away

automatically.

)With the roof open, this deflector can be

folded away manually and secured at its

centre : press vertically down on the cross

member near the paddle at the top of the

deflector and clip this paddle in the cut-out.

)To release and deploy the deflector

manually, press vertically down on the

cross member near the paddle to unclip it

from the cut-out and pull it gently towards

you.
