S u n r o o f

Glass sun roof
The sun roof offers you two open-

ing positions:
- An initial press opens to the com-

fort position.

- A second press gives maximum

opening position.

To close the sun roof, use the re-

verse procedure.

An anti-pinch device stops the sun roof from sliding shut if it meets an obsta-

cle, in which case it reopens.

After a disconnection of the battery or in the event of a malfunction,

you have to re-initialise the antipinch function.
To do this: place the control in the fully open or maximum tilt position, then

press the control, and keep it pressed for at least 1 second after the fully

open position has been reached.
Warning: During this operation, the anti-pinch device does not function.

Advice

At speeds greater than 60 km/h (approx. 40 mph), it is advised to drive with

the sun roof in the comfort position.

Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle,

even for short periods.

In the event of pinching when the sun roof is in operation,

you should reverse the roof movement.

For this, reverse the position of the control concerned.

When the driver actions the sun roof control,

he should first make sure that passengers

are not obstructing the closing of the sun roof.

The driver should ensure that passengers operate

the sun roof control correctly.

ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN

ARE WHEN OPERATING THE ROOF.

taking care to protect yourself with

e.g. a cloth.

Topping up the cooling system
The coolant level should be between the MAX and MIN

marks on the header tank.
Top up the level. If you have to add more than 1 litre, you

should have the cooling system checked by CITROËN.
Make sure that the cap is on correctly.

Note: The necessity to top up frequently would indicate a

malfunction that should be checked at the earliest opportunity.

sures correct functioning of the braking system in all environmental condi-

tions, therefore you should only use the synthetic product recommended by

the manufacturer. (this fluid must be replaced every two years).
These important requirements are detailed in your vehicle's Maintenance

Guide.

Emergency starting with a slave battery
If the battery is discharged, the vehicle can be started with either a slave bat-

tery or the battery on another vehicle.
Check that the voltage of the slave battery is correct (12 volts).
If you use the battery on another vehicle, the engine of this assisting vehicle

should be switched off. The two vehicles should not be touching one another.
Lift the isolating protection on the + terminal.
Connect the cables in the order indicated in the illustration. Make sure that a

good contact is made (to prevent all risk of sparks).

It is essential to adhere to the correct sequence as indicated.
Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run at a fast idle for about a

minute.
Then start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.

Note: Ensure that the insulating protection is refitted to the positive terminal

after any work.
