opened and closed when the vehicle is
standing still.
Warning!
G
Before operating the switch for the soft top,
make sure no persons can be injured by the
moving parts (roll bars, soft top frame, and
soft top compartment cover).
Hands must never be placed near the roll
bar, soft top frame, upper windshield area,
shelf behind roll bar, or soft top storage
compartment while the soft top is being
raised or lowered. Serious personal injury
may occur.
If potential danger exists, release the soft
top switch. This immediately interrupts the
raising or lowering procedure. You then can
operate the soft top switch to raise or lower
the soft top away from the danger zone.

When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
SmartKey or SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO*

tended in the vehicle, or with access to an
unlocked vehicle. A child’s unsupervised ac-
cess to a vehicle could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury.
! Never sit or place heavy objects on the rear
shelf. Doing so could cause damage to the soft
top and the rear shelf.

make sure:

to move up

ment cover
