* Depending on version. Your vehicle may be fitted with an electrically operated fabric roof.
Electric fabric roof*
Electric opening and closing
The roof is opened and closed by pressing
the control at the interior lamp, in the opening
direction 1 and in the closing direction 2 .
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 with
the ignition on and when driving.
Operation of the roof could cause
serious injuries: 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 and that
no object could inter fere with the
operation. 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.
The asymmetric shape of the opening
control avoids closing the roof by
mistake.
Position of the roof
Position 0 : Roof completely closed.
Position 1 : Automatic stop position for the roof.
Position 2 : Roof completely open.

A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times and
remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass,
dead leaves...) might come into contact
with the hot exhaust system - Risk of
fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake
and put the gearbox into neutral or
position
N, depending on the type of
gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!If you are obliged to drive through water:
-
c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10
km/h),
-
d
o not stop and do not switch off the
engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

prolonged period (key in position 2

Starting your vehicle will then no longer
be possible. Be aware.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion
engines emit toxic exhaust gases,
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of
intoxication and death. In very severe
winter conditions (temperatures
below
-23°C), it is necessary to allow
the engine to run for 4 minutes before
setting off, in order to ensure the
correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle, the engine and gearbox.
