Pay particular attention to children when
operating the windows.
Be aware of passengers and/or other persons
present when closing windows remotely using
the electronic key.
Do not put your head or arms through the open
windows when the vehicle is moving - risk of
serious injury!
Panoramic sunroof
The panoramic sunroof consists of a movable
glass panel that slides over the roof and a blind
that can be opened independently. Opening the
sunroof automatically opens the blind.
► To operate the panoramic sunroof or the blind,
use the buttons in the roof console.


A. Sunroof control
B. Sunroof blind control
The sunroof or blind can be operated when the
ignition is turned on (if the battery is charged
enough), with the engine running, in STOP mode
of Stop & Start, and up to 45 seconds after turning
off the ignition or after locking the vehicle.
Precautions
Do not put your head or arms through the
sunroof while the vehicle is moving - risk
of serious injury!
Ensure that any luggage or accessories
carried on the roof bars do not interfere
with the movement of the sunroof.
Do not place heavy loads on the movable glass
panel of the sunroof.
If the sunroof is wet, following a rain
shower or washing the vehicle, wait until
it is completely dry before operating it.
Do not operate the sunroof if it is covered by
snow or ice - risk of damage!
Use only plastic scrapers to remove snow or
ice from the sunroof.
Regularly check the condition of the
sunroof seals (e.g. presence of dust, dead
leaves).
If using a car wash, check first that the roof is
correctly closed and keep the high-pressure jet
at least 30 centimetres from the seals.
Never leave the vehicle with the sunroof
open.
Operation
When opening the sunroof fully, the movable
glass moves to a partially open position, then
slides over the roof. Any intermediate position is
possible.
Depending on the speed of the vehicle, the
partially open position may vary to
improve the acoustics.

41
Access02
Before operating the sunroof or blind
control buttons, ensure that no object or
person might prevent the movement.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating the sunroof or blind.
If something is trapped when operating
the sunroof or blind, you should reverse the
movement of the sunroof or blind by pressing
the control in question.
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the sunroof and blind correctly.
Anti-pinch system
If the sunroof or blind encounters an obstacle
when closing, the movement is automatically
reversed.
The roof anti-pinch system is designed to be
effective at speeds of up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
Opening/Closing
►  To open the sunroof or the blind, use the part
of the button located towards the rear of the
vehicle.
►  To close the sunroof or the blind, use the part
of the button located towards the front of the
vehicle.
Operation of buttons
►  Pressing a button beyond its point of
resistance directly opens or closes the sunroof or
blind fully.
►  Pressing the button again stops the current
movement.
►  When holding a button (without going
beyond the point of resistance), the movement
of the sunroof or blind stops when this button is
released.
►  When the sunroof is closed: pressing once
without passing the point of resistance moves it
to a partially open position.
►  When the sunroof is partially open: pressing
once without passing the point of resistance
opens or closes it fully.
The sunroof and windows, then the blind,
can be closed by holding down the door
locking control. The manoeuvre stops as soon
as the locking control is released.
Closing of the blind is limited by the
position of the sunroof: the blind cannot
go further than the front of the movable glass.
During simultaneous movements of the
sunroof and blind, the blind automatically
stops or resumes movement depending on the
position of the sunroof.
Reinitialisation
Following reconnection of the battery or in the
event of a fault or jerky movement of the sunroof
or blind, reinitialisation is required.
►  Check that nothing is interfering with the
sunroof or blind and that the seals are clean.
►  With the ignition on, fully close the sunroof
and blind.
►  Press and hold the front part of button A, until
the sunroof and blind move slightly, then hold for
a further 1 second before releasing.
►  Wait 2 seconds and then press and hold the
front part of button A. The blind and the sunroof
will open and close, one after the other. When
both are completely closed again, hold for a
further 2 seconds and release.
If there is an operating fault, restart the
whole procedure.

Advice
Using the ventilation and air conditioning
system
►  To ensure that air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the base
of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot free
from obstructions.
►  Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
►  Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in good working order.
►  If the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When towing a large load on a steep gradient
in high temperatures, switching off the air
conditioning increases the available engine
power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the
ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►  Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Its specific active additive
helps protect against polluting gases and bad
smells.
►  To ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop &
Start system, refer to the corresponding
section.
