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
We recommend that you clean the
acoustic air deflector with care , using
a
soft brush.

passengers if present in the rear seats
or jamming the seat if large objects are
placed on the floor behind the seat.

When the seat and passenger
compartment have reached an
adequate temperature, you can stop
the function; reducing the consumption

consumption. Prolonged use at the highest setting is
not recommended for those with sensitive
skin.

risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness,
taking medication, for example).

Recommendations
for ventilation and air
conditioning
If the interior temperature is very high after
the vehicle has stood for a
long time in the
sunshine, please ventilate the passenger
compartment for a
few moments.
To obtain a
per fectly even distribution
of air, ensure that the external air intake
grille, the air vents, air passages and
the air outlets in the footwells are not
obstructed.
Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter, situated behind the glove box,
inside the air conditioning unit, is in good
condition. Replace the filter elements
periodically. If you drive in a
dusty
environment, have them replaced twice
as often.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5
to 10 minutes, once or twice a month, to
keep it in per fect working order.
To ensure correct operation of your air
conditioning system, we also advise you to
have it checked regularly.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer
or a


qualified workshop.
