Cadillac 2006 XLR - Manual (Page 101)

Manually Raising the Retractable Hardtop
If your vehicle has a power loss, such as a dead
battery, you can still raise the top manually by doing
the following:
1. Lower both sun visors and open both doors.
2. Use the key to open the trunk. See Keys on
page 2-2 and Trunk on page 2-12 for more
information.
3. Raise the trunk by hand.
4. Remove the wrench located inside the passenger’s
side storage compartment.
5. Find the hydraulic pump
under the carpet on
the rear driver’s side
of the trunk. Open the
valve by turning it
counterclockwise with
your hand until it stops.
Notice: Pressing the retractable hardtop button
when the hydraulic pump valve is open could
damage the pump. Always close the hydraulic pump
valve after the retractable hardtop has been closed
manually.
6. Pull both sides of the rear tonneau over-center link
down to unlock the linkage.
