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.
