Comfort Closing/Opening
Comfort closing of the top is only possible at the driver’s door lock cylinder. If the key is
held in the locking position, the top will be raised and the windows closed in the raising
sequence.
Comfort opening is possible from either the driver’s door lock cylinder or remotely from the
key through the FZV. The opening sequence is the same as from the top switch.
Residual Closing/Opening
It is possible to finish raising or lowering the top at speeds > 2 MPH if:
• The signal from the main pillar angle sensor indicates that the top is fully extended out of
the storage compartment.
• The signal from the main pillar angle sensor indicates that the top is fully lowered in the
storage compartment.
Safety in the Intermediate Positions
All movements of the top stop once the switch is released. The hydraulics hold the position
of the top and remain under pressure for approximately 20 minutes if the ignition key is left
in the ON position.
If the ignition is switched OFF, in the intermediate position, the pressure will be released in
steps after approximately 10 seconds until all pressure is drained from the cylinders. This
allows the top to be manually moved for servicing procedures.
NNOOTTEE::
Depending on the position, the top may collapse into the storage compartment if
the ignition is switched off with the top in the partially raised position.
