The soft top is operated by means of a

hydraulic system, driven by a pump and

controlled by a set of sensors that monitor

each stage of its movement.

Do not keep the soft top open for long periods

of time, especially if the vehicle is new, since

the soft top canvas may become permanently

creased and closing could become diffi cult.

Do not open the soft top when it is wet or

damp.
