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

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.

Aero-acoustic deflector
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.
