Lost keys
Go to a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your personal identification documents and if possible the key code label.
The
CITROËN dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder code
r
equired to order a new key.
Remote control / Electronic key
These high frequency devices are sensitive systems; do not handle them while in your pocket as there is a risk of unlocking the vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do
not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control or electronic key out of range
a
nd out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote
c
ontrol would have to be reinitialised.
Locking the vehicle
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, except for a very short period.
In
all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch, or take the electronic
k
ey with you when leaving the vehicle.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and start the vehicle.
Driving
with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the
e
mergency services more difficult in an emergency.

vehicle
or person outside the vehicle
c
ould be subject to any risk related
t
o the movement of the roof and that

An aero-acoustic deflector is available to improve the acoustic comfort of occupants of
t
he vehicle in certain driving conditions
(high
speed), by reducing the turbulence in
t
he passenger compartment resulting from the
d
isplacement of air.
On
opening the roof, the aero-acoustic
d
eflector is deployed.
On
closing the roof, the deflector folds away
au
tomatically.
Aero-acoustic deflector Precautions for use
Never place objects on the roof, w
hether open or closed.
Never
sit on or place objects on the
t
ransverse roof support when the roof
is
open. In
the event of prolonged storage of the v
ehicle outside, it is recommended that
t
he roof be protected with a cover.
To
avoid damaging the roof, do
n
ot open it under snowy or frosty
c
onditions.
Never
use sharp tools to remove ice or
a
ccumulations of snow on the roof.
To
limit the creation of folds in the roof
f
abric, it is recommended that the roof
n
ot be left open for long periods.
The
vehicle's air conditioning system
s
hould not be operated while the roof
i
s open. It
is recommended that the roof be
c
losed when the vehicle is left parked.
Even
if the roof is closed, it is prudent
n
ot to leave any valuable objects inside
t
he vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, switch off
the
ignition and remove the key (take
t
he electronic key with you) to avoid any
u
nwanted 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
a
utomatic roller-brush car wash.Remove
bird droppings or tree resins as
t
heir acidity may damage the roof.Never
use chemical products,
d
etergents, stain removers, solvents,
a
lcohol, petrol, ... to clean the roof.
We recommend that you clean the
a
ero-acoustic defector with care
using
a
soft brush.
Before
washing the fabric roof, first
r
emove as much dirt as possible from
t
he sur face using a soft brush or a
v
acuum 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,
t
hen immediately rinse with clean water.
Allow the vehicle to dry in a shaded
a
rea and avoid direct exposure to
t
he sun. For
the regular maintenance of the
f
abric roof and to conserve its original
a
ppearance, we recommend an
e
cological "Fly remover - Fabric roof
c
leaner" from the "TECHNATURE"
r
ange. To obtain this product go to a
C
ITROËN dealer.

Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature remains very high after a prolonged period parked in the sun, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes.
For
an even air distribution, make sure that you do not block the outside air inlet grille, the
v
ents, the air passages and the air outlets to the footwells.
Ensure
that the passenger compartment filter, located behind the glove box in the heater
u
nit, is in good condition. Have the filter elements replaced regularly. If you drive in dusty
c
onditions, change them twice as often.
Operate
the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keep it in
p
er fect working order.
In
order to ensure that your air conditioning system continues to operate correctly, you are
a
dvised to have it checked regularly.
If
the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
The
air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to
t
he ozone layer.
The
condensation created by the air conditioning results in a flow of water under the vehicle
w
hen stationary which is per fectly normal.

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
h

r
eact at any time to any eventuality.
On
a long journey, a break every two hours is
s
trongly
re
commended.
In
difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
t
he need to brake and increase the distance
f
rom other vehicles. Never
drive with the parking brake
a
pplied - Risk of overheating and
d
amage to the braking system!
Do
not park or run the engine when
s
tationary in areas where inflammable
s
ubstances and materials (dry grass,
d
ead leaves...) might come into
c
ontact with the hot exhaust system -
R
isk of fire!
Never
leave a vehicle unsupervised
w
ith the engine running. If you have
t
o leave your vehicle with the engine
r
unning, apply the parking brake
a
nd put the gearbox into neutral or
p
osition
N,
depending on the type of
g
earbox.
Driving on flooded

We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads, as this could cause serious damage
t
o the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
e
lectrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!If you are obliged to drive through water:
-
c
heck that the depth of water does not
e
xceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
t
hat might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without
s
talling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(
10 km/h),
-
d
o not stop and do not switch off the
e
ngine.
On
leaving the flooded road, as soon as
c
ircumstances allow, make several light brake
a
pplications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If
in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
