FAMILIARISATION
ACCESS
Retractable roof
The operation of the roof is the ex-
clusive 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
operate 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.
The operation can only be carried
out when moving if the speed is be-
low 6 mph (10 km/h), and you are
driving smoothly on level ground.
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
.
)
Check that the boot screen 2
is secured
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 dam-
age to the roof motors. Let the
system rest for approximately ten
minutes; if you are unable to oper-
ate the roof after this time, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

tently while driving, allow the en-
gine to return to idle then engage
position D

When the engine is running at idle,
with the brakes released, if position
R
, D
or M

moves even without the accelera-
tor being pressed.
When the engine is running, never
leave children in the vehicle with-

the road and the load in the vehicle.
D

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.

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
signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates a gear-
box 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.
