WARNING

Verify that the ignition is switched off:

Closing the roof with the ignition not
switched off is dangerous as the motors
could turn on suddenly and cause
injury resulting from hands or fingers
being pinched in the mechanism.

5. Remove leaves and other foreign

matter accumulated in the drainage
outlet.
