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 A
is
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.

Precautions for use
Do not 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.
Do not use sharp tools to remove ice or accumulations of snow on the roof.
Do not 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.
The vehicle's air conditioning system should not be operated while the roof is open.
It is strictly prohibited to sit on or place objects on the transverse roof support when the roof
is open.
It is recommended that the roof be closed when the vehicle is left parked.
Even if the roof is closed, it is prudent not to leave any valuable objects inside the vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, remove the ignition key to avoid any unwanted operation of the
roof.
If your vehicle has a voice command system, this may not work as well when driving with
the roof open.
Protection of the roof opening and closing electric motors: during repeated opening and
closing of the roof, the electric motors may become too hot and then no longer allow the
roof to be opened or closed. Allow the motors to cool down by not operating the roof for
ten minutes.
- an opening operation in progress in zone B
is continued through to completion,
- a closing operation in progress in zone B
is
stopped and complete opening of the roof
to position 3
is carried out automatically,
- an opening or closing operation in zone B
following an "anti-panic" function is
continued through to completion.
A new operation of the roof will be
possible as soon as the vehicle's speed
drops below about 70 mph (120 km/h).

control causes the roof to close. The boot will be released when the roof reaches
position 2
. You can then raise the boot lid.
Conditions for opening the boot with the roof in zone B
To avoid inter ference between the boot and the roof in zone B, opening the boot depends
on the position of the roof.
If the roof is carrying out a closing operation in zone B
, an action on the boot opening
control has no effect on the roof operation, but the boot will only be released once the roof
has reached position 2
. You can then raise the boot lid.
During an opening or closing operation of the roof in zone B
following an "anti-panic"
function, the boot opening control is inhibited. It will work again once the roof has reached
position 2
or position 3
.
If the roof is position 3
, an action on the boot opening control causes the closing of the
roof to position 2
. When the roof has reached this position, the boot lid will be released.
You can then raise the boot lid.
