CSC stands for Coupé Sunroof and Cabriolet roof. It is
a multi-part folding roof made from steel sheet and
represents a completely new development with its
complicated electrohydraulic operation.
Since the roof has five parts, the A-pillar with the
wind-protection frame could be made shorter than on
other cabriolets. The windscreen therefore does not
extend too far over the interior meaning the driver
and front passenger are more in the open and
climbing in and out is easier. An electrical glass
sunroof integrated in the CSC roof with sliding
headliner also provides ventilation and light when
you are driving the car as a coupé.
The CSC roof and the externally running sunroof are
operated using a switch in the centre console. When
the roof is operated, the CSC roof segments are
placed one on top of each other in a sandwich and
are stored in the boot.
To support the driver when the roof is retracted,
the Eos Park Assist system is supplemented with the
function of a boot lid assist. It monitors the area
behind the Eos and ensures that the boot lid can move
in its full range when the roof is opened.
The Park Assist is available as an optional extra.
