An aero-acoustic deflector is available to improve the acoustic comfort of occupants of
t
he vehicle in certain driving conditions
(high
speed), by reducing the turbulence in
t
he passenger compartment resulting from the
d
isplacement of air.
On
opening the roof, the aero-acoustic
d
eflector is deployed.
On
closing the roof, the deflector folds away
au
tomatically.
Aero-acoustic deflector Precautions for use
Never place objects on the roof, w
hether open or closed.
Never
sit on or place objects on the
t
ransverse roof support when the roof
is
open. In
the event of prolonged storage of the v
ehicle outside, it is recommended that
t
he roof be protected with a cover.
To
avoid damaging the roof, do
n
ot open it under snowy or frosty
c
onditions.
Never
use sharp tools to remove ice or
a
ccumulations of snow on the roof.
To
limit the creation of folds in the roof
f
abric, it is recommended that the roof
n
ot be left open for long periods.
The
vehicle's air conditioning system
s
hould not be operated while the roof
i
s open. It
is recommended that the roof be
c
losed when the vehicle is left parked.
Even

n
ot to leave any valuable objects inside
t
he vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, switch off
the
