MANY OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES ADVISE
OPERATING THE ROOF TO THE HALFWAY POSITION.
WHEN THE OPERATION OF THE ROOF IS STOPPED
MID-CYCLE, WITH THE TO NNEAU UP, ANY LOSS OF
POWER (I.E. REMOVING THE VEHICLE KEY OR AFTER
10 MINUTES OF IDLE) WILL RESULT IN THE
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE DROPPING AND MAY CAUSE
A CLASH SCENARIO.
WHEN ADVISED TO OPEN THE ROOF TO THE
HALFWAY POSITION, ALWA YS SECURE THE ROOF
WITH STRAPS AND PROPS (AS ADVISED). SHOULD
THE ROOF CLASH AND THEN POWER BE RETURNED
TO THE VEHICLE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE ROOF
WILL RESULT.
TO RECTIFY THE ‘CLASH’ SCENARIO FOLLOW THE
PROCEDURE BELOW:
1. ENSURE IGNITION IS OFF AND REMOVE KEY.
2. MANUALLY RAISE TONNEAU LID.
3. WHILST TONNEAU IS RAISED, FULLY RETRACT
ROOF ALLOWING IT TO SETTLE BACK INTO
TONNEAU WELL.
4. ENSURE LID CLEARS TONNEAU STRIKERS DURING
MOVEMENT.
5. CLOSE TONNEAU LID (ALLOW TO DROP UNDER
OWN WEIGHT).
6. ONCE TONNEAU IS CLOSED TURN ON IGNITION
AND FULLY RETRACT ROOF INTO TONNEAU WELL
AND LATCH TONNEAU.
7. ONCE MOVEMENT IS COMPLETED AND HOOD IS
STOWED FULL FUNCTIONALITY IS RESTORED.
