Raising soft top manually
In case of malfunction, the power soft top can also be
raised manually. This procedure should be performed
with great care by two persons.
We recommend to take off your watch or other jewelry to
prevent personal injury.
A combination open-end /hex-socket wrench in the
vehicle tool kit is required for this job.
1. Engage parking brake.
2. Lower windows and open doors.
3. Lower roll bar with roll bar switch.
Note:
If the roll bar cannot be lowered, carefully guide the
soft top across the roll bar. Lift the rear window over
the roll bar.
4. For safety reasons, remove electronic key from
steering lock.
Important!
Ensure that the trunk lid is closed while raising the soft
top manually. Otherwise there is the possibility of
contact between the trunk lid and the soft top
compartment cover.
Warning!
Do not place your hands near the roll bar, soft top
frame, upper windshield area or soft top storage
compartment or between the soft top rods while the
soft top is being raised and locked.
Serious personal injury may occur.
