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:
- engine running, or
- ignition on.
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.
Operating zones
There are two operating zones:
Zone A : horizontal operating zone, in manual
or automatic mode.
Zone B : vertical operating zone, in automatic
mode only.
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 or the rear screen
and that no object could inter fere with the operation.
Roof positions
Position 0 : Roof completely closed.
Position 1 : Stop position for automatic roof
closing.
Position 2 : Roof open horizontally.
Position 3 : Roof completely open.
