Description


1. Unlocking the first bow


2. Emergency operation of sixth bow on right and left-hand side

3. Emergency operation of soft top cover on right and left-hand side


The soft top system has an emergency operation function in order to raise the soft top in case of a fault in the system.

The rods for emergency operation are located to the left and right behind the luggage compartment trim. For access, the cover for changing bulb must first be removed. To unlock the soft top cover, the emergency operation rods must be pushed (3) forward.

To lock and open the first bow, the lock must be turned using an Allen key and wheel nut wrench (included in the tool box) through the opening under the cover in the first bow trim (1).

To lock and open the sixth bow, the soft top mechanism must be turned (2) using an Allen key and wheel nut wrench (included in the tool box) on both sides. Fold up the headlining somewhat for access.

Warning

If the soft top is released when half raised (standing straight up) there is a risk for crush injuries as it will fall down, either forward or backward depending on the centre of gravity.


Emergency closing

The soft top can be closed using emergency operation in the following way:


1. Open the boot lid. Take out the Allen key, screwdriver and wheel nut wrench (included in the tool kit).

2. Remove the luggage compartment cover at the rear lamps on the left and right-hand side of the luggage compartment.

3. Release the soft top cover by pressing forward the left and right emergency operation clasps.

8. Remove the cover plug using a screwdriver. Unlock the lock hooks using the wheel nut wrench. Turn clockwise.


9. Lift the soft top and pull it towards the windscreen.
