electrically operated fabric roof.
Electrically operated
opening and closing
The roof is opened and closed by pressing the
control located on the courtesy lamp, in the
opening direction 1
and the closing direction 2.
The asymmetric shape of the opening
control avoids closing by mistake.
The roof can be operated with the ignition on,
with the engine running and while driving.
To maintain the level of charge in the
battery, it is advisable to operate the roof
with the engine running. Depending on the level of charge of the
battery, if the roof is operated with the
ignition switched on, starting the engine
may cause the roof to stop moving. To
continue moving the roof, repeat the
command after you have started the
engine.
Operating the roof could cause serious
injuries: before operating it, make sure
that no-one inside or outside the vehicle
is exposed to any risk related to moving
the roof and that no objects hinder this
operation.

If there is an electrical fault, contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Acoustic air deflector
An acoustic air deflector is available in order to
improve the acoustic comfort of the occupants
of the vehicle in certain driving conditions
(high speed), by limiting air currents in the
passenger compartment that are caused by air
displacement.
When the roof is opened, the deflector deploys.
When the roof is closed, the deflector refolds
automatically.

Precautions in use
Never put objects on the open or closed
roof.
Do not sit or place anything on the
crossbar of the roof when it is open.
To avoid damaging the roof, do not open it
if there is snow or ice present.
Never use sharp tools to remove snow or
ice that has built up on the roof.
To prevent creases appearing in the
canvas, it is recommended not to leave
the roof open for long periods.
It is not recommended to operate the
vehicle's air conditioning system when the
roof is open.
If the vehicle is to be parked outside for
a long period, it is advisable to protect the
roof using a
tarpaulin.
It is advisable to close the roof when you
park the vehicle.
Even if the roof is closed, it is safer not to
leave any valuables inside the vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, turn off
the ignition and remove the key (or take
the electronic key with you) to prevent
unintentional operation of the roof.
Advice on care
General recommendations on the care and
maintenance of your vehicle are given in the
warranty and maintenance record.
Fabric roof
Before washing the fabric, remove as
much dirt as possible using a soft brush or
a
vacuum cleaner.
To avoid damaging the roof:
-
n
ever use a high-pressure washer,
-
n
ever clean your vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash.
Allow the vehicle to dry in the shade and
avoid exposing it to direct sunlight.
To remove stains, dab them (never rub
them) with a
sponge and some soapy
water, then immediately rinse the fabric
with clean water.
Immediately remove bird droppings or
plant resins, their caustic nature could
damage the fabric. For regular care of the fabric and to keep
its original appearance, we recommend
using the environmentally friendly product
"Insect removal" product" from the
"TECHNATURE" range. To obtain this
product, visit a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Never use chemical products, detergents,
stain removers, solvents, alcohol, petrol,…
to clean the fabric.
To waterproof the fabric, use only
waterproofing products specifically for
fabric hoods.
Acoustic air deflector

Electronic stability control
(ESC)
The ESC programme incorporates the following
systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
ABS prevents the wheels from locking during
emergency braking.
EBFD ensures total management of the braking
pressure, wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system permits the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, therefore reducing the stopping
distance.
It triggers according to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by
a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Traction control (TRC)
This system optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
-
em
ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-
t
raction control (TRC),
- d
ynamic stability control (DSC).
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
f ollowed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBD)
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal, it indicates an ABS system
malfunction that could cause control
of the vehicle to be lost during
braking.
Drive carefully at a
moderate speed and
contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Safety
54
Drive carefully at a moderate speed and
c ontact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for verification of the system.
The TRC and DSC systems offer
exceptional safety in normal driving, but
this should not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the systems
depends on observing the manufacturer's
recommendations regarding wheels (tyres
and rims), braking system components,
electronic components as well as
assembly and repair procedures used by
the PEUGEOT dealer network.
After an impact, have the systems
checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a
qualified workshop.Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with
a pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a
front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of
the seat belt on the passenger's chest, thus
improving their protection.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are each fitted with a three-point
sea t belt.
