VOLKSWAGEN EOS 2012 Owners Manual

Volkswagen recommends having the work performed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Do not attempt to push the deployed rollover supports back down unless this is absolutely necessary. When the CSC roof is down, the deployed rollover supports push against the CSC roof and are under considerable tension. For this reason, a lot of strength is required to push and hold the supports down, and you must assume a very uncomfortable position while doing so:
x Push the release lever ⇒ fig. 174 (1) in the direction of the arrow (2) and hold it in this position.
x Then, push down the top part of the rollover support down about 11.8 inches (30 cm) (3) and let go of the release lever (1).
x Make sure that nobody touches the release lever when the support is pushed down the rest of the way.
x Push the support down completely until it locks into place.
WARNING
Stowing the deployed rollover supports can be dangerous and can lead to serious injury.
x Do not try to push the rollover support back down if there is any object in its channel. A foreign object can keep the rollover support system from working or locking properly or cause it to deploy unexpectedly.
x The rollover protection supports must properly lock into place after being stowed. Otherwise, they can deploy unexpectedly.
