Manually closing the roof with the ignition

motors could turn on suddenly and cause
injury resulting from hands or fingers being
pinched in the mechanism.

brake.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic transmission in Park (P), a manual

the L-shape hexagonal wrench contact
the roof when turning the bolt.

Moving the seats as far forward as
possible and folding the seatbacks forward
will facilitate the procedure.
