Important safety notes

WARNING
If you do not fully open/close the soft top, the
soft-top hydraulics depressurize after a short
time. This causes the soft top to lower unex-
pectedly and may cause you or others to be
trapped. There is a risk of injury.
Always open or close the soft top completely.

WARNING
Closing the roof manually is a complicated
and technically demanding procedure, which
requires a lot of strength. You or others can
become trapped. There is a risk of injury.
Only have the soft top closed manually at a
qualified specialist workshop.
