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 is deployed.
On closing the roof, the deflector folds away
automatically.
Aero-acoustic deflectorPrecautions for use
Never place objects on the roof,
whether open or closed.
Never sit on or place objects on the
transverse roof support when the roof
is open. 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.
Never use sharp tools to remove ice or
accumulations of snow on the roof.
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 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, switch off
the ignition and remove the key (take
the electronic key with you) to avoid any
unwanted operation of the roof.

Recommendations on care of your vehicle
The general recommendations on the care of your vehicle are given in the maintenance and warranty guide.
Fabric roof
To avoid damaging the roof.
- n ever use a high pressure jet wash,
-
n
ever wash your vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash. Remove bird droppings or tree resins as
their acidity may damage the roof. Never use chemical products,
detergents, stain removers, solvents,
alcohol, petrol,
... to clean the roof.
We recommend that you clean the
aero-acoustic defector with care using
a soft brush.
Before washing the fabric roof, first
remove as much dirt as possible from
the sur face using a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner.
To waterproof the roof, use only special
waterproofing products for fabric roofs.
To remove marks, sponge them
(but never rub them) using soapy water,
then immediately rinse with clean water.
Allow the vehicle to dry in a shaded
area and avoid direct exposure to
the sun. For the regular maintenance of the
fabric roof and to conserve its original
appearance, we recommend an
ecological "Fly remover - Fabric roof
cleaner" from the "TECHNATURE"
range. To obtain this product go to a
CITROËN dealer.

Manual override
It is possible to adjust one or more functions
manually while leaving the other functions in
automatic mode.
The "AUTO" symbol switches off.
To return to automatic mode, press the "AUTO"
button.
Switching to manual mode may not be suitable
(temperature, humidity, odour, condensation)
and does not provide optimum comfort.
Automatic air conditioning
F Press the "AUTO" button.
The "AUTO" symbol comes on.
The air conditioning operates when the engine is running.
By pressing the "AUTO" button again, you can
choose from one of the following settings in
turn:Automatic programme
Allows optimum operation of the
system.
Offers temperature control while
restricting air flow.
Dynamic air distribution mainly
towards the side air vents.
We recommend that you use this mode.
It provides optimised automatic control of
all of the following functions: passenger
compartment temperature, air flow, air
distribution and air intake, in accordance with
the comfort value that you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows and fabric roof
closed.
For your comfort, when the engine is switched
off, the settings are retained until the engine is
switched on again.
To prevent too great a distribution of cold air
when the engine is cold, the air flow will only
reach its optimum level gradually.

Unwanted triggering of the system
It is possible for the system to detect a risk of
imminent collision and start working, in the
following conditions in particular:
-
d
etection of an object located close to the
outer edge of a bend (safety barrier, lamp
post or road sign),
-
d
etection of an object located at the top or
bottom of a steep slope,
-
d
etection of reflective objects (central
reservation...) in the road,
-
d
etection of the upper bar of a bridge or a
traffic light gantry,
-
d
etection of a vehicle on a bend travelling
in the other direction,
-
d
etection of a vehicle traveling in the other
direction, at a crossroads, when your
vehicle is turning left or right,
-
i
f the vehicle ahead of you sends up water
or snow,
-
i
f your vehicle stops very close to a wall or
other vehicles,
-
w
hen your vehicle closes rapidly on the
vehicle ahead,
-
i
f the vehicle is raised or lowered,
-
i
f the vehicle passes through a plastic curtain,
-
i
f driving through mist or smoke,
-
i
f the sensor is misaligned (following
replacement after a collision).
Never leave accumulations of snow or
any object projecting above the bonnet
or in front of the roof: this might fall into
the field of vision of the sensor and
generate a detection.
Operating limits
The system only detects
vehicles (cars, lorries)
that are stationary or moving in the same
direction as your vehicle. In difficult weather conditions (very
heavy rain, snow, fog, hail...), braking
distances increase, which can reduce
the ability of the system to avoid a
collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly vigilant.
The system is not triggered or is interrupted if
the driver:
-
a
ccelerates strongly (even if the speed
limiter is on),
-
o
r turns the steering wheel suddenly
(avoiding manoeuvre).
Detection capability is less effective if:
-
y
ou are driving on roads with pronounced
bends and/or on roads in poor condition,
-
y
our vehicle is excessively loaded, as
this changes the horizontal attitude of the
vehicle. It does not detect small vehicles
(bicycles, motorcycles), pedestrians or
animals, nor non-reflective stationary
objects.

Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...), nor fix or attach anything close to
the inflation trajectory of the airbags; this
could cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause
injuries with deployment of the airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a CITROËN
dealer.
Refer to the "Accessories" section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head if the curtain
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a part in securing the curtain airbags.
