Measure
This operation must only be carried out on the right hand side of the roof assembly
The following should be noted before the procedures are carried out
Warning: There are no anti-trap features fitted to the linkage flaps, front header panel, tension bow or tonneau cover. Ensure all
persons are clear of the mechanism, and there are no obstructions in the vicinity during the operation of the roof
Caution: To avoid a clash of panels it is important that the luggage compartment and tonneau cover assembly are not opened at the
same time. One of these must be fully closed at all times
Note: To carry out the following procedures, the power operated roof assembly willhave to be positioned partially open in a
transient state. With the ignition on any transient roof position willonly be maintained for 10 minutes after which a warning will
sound prior to the roof assembly gradually folding down as the hydraulic pressure decays. Therefore consideration should be given
to supporting the roof system during the following procedure (see Figure 4)
Caution: Whenever air tools are employed or compressed air is used to remove debris it is imperative that the air is clean and dry and
does not contain any lubricants. The exhaust from an air tool supplied with lubricated air is likely to stain the hood
