▼Manual closing
Before closing manually
WA R N I N G
Verify that the ignition is switched
off
before manually operating the roof:
Manually closing the roof with the ignition
not switched off is dangerous as the
motors could turn on suddenly and cause
injury resulting from hands or fingers being
pinched in the mechanism.
1. Park on a hard, level surface off the right-of-way and firmly set the parking
brake.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic transmission in Park (P), a manual
transmission in Neutral.
3. Switch the ignition off while
depressing the brake pedal.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flasher if it is needed.

front roof is narrow, be careful not to let
the L-shape hexagonal wrench contact
the roof when turning the bolt.
NOTE
Moving the seats as far forward as
possible and folding the seatbacks forward
will facilitate the procedure.
