Problems with the side windows

body could be trapped in the closing area in the process. This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
Make sure that no parts of the body are in the closing area. To stop the closing process, release
the switch or push the switch again to reopen the side window.

Important safety notes

If you do not fully open/close the soft top, the
soft-top hydraulics depressurise after a short
time. This causes the soft top to lower unex-

trapped. There is a risk of injury.
Always open or close the soft top completely.

nically challenging procedure that requires

You or others could be trapped while perform-
ing this task. There is a risk of injury.
Only have the soft top closed manually at a
qualified specialist workshop.

objects there. You will otherwise damage
the roof and the rear shelf of your vehicle.

change abruptly. Make certain that the roof
