OPERATION
The following prerequisites must be met for the top to function:
Trunk Lid Closed- Electrical interlock of the trunk and top. Due to the design of the top
storage  cover  and  trunk  lid,  damage  to  the  cover  or  lid  would  occur  if  both  were  open  at
the same time.
Ignition  key  switched  on  KL  R,  (preferably  engine  running  to  prevent  unnecessary  bat-
tery drain) 
Vehicle stopped(speed “A” signal <3 MPH)
Roll over bars retracted (if equipped) - bars interfere with the top operation as it is low-
ering into the storage compartment.
LOWERING THE TOP
•SEMI AUTOMATIC TOP ONLY - Unlock the top with the turn lock fastener and push
the  top  over  the  tension  point.S4  must  close  for  the  top  to  operate. Press  and  hold
the top switch.Go to “TENSION BAR RAISED” on next page.
•FULLY  AUTOMATIC  TOP  ONLY  -Press  and  hold  the  top  switch. All  Side  windows
lower automatically regardless of their position, by a signal from the top module to the
General Module (ZKE IV).
1. The top lock motor is powered in the unlock direction.  
2. The left and right side locks are mechanically released via the drive cables. 
3. Microswitch S7 opens indicating the top is unlatched from the windshield frame. 
4. Once  the  locks  are  completely  released,  the  top  lock  motor  continues  to  run  lifting
the front bow above the tension point via the tension rods.
5. As  the  front  bow  passes  the  tension  point,  micro  switch  S8  closes.  The  top  lock
motor switches off and the top motor is switched ON.

TOP ASSEMBLY LOWERED
The top motor turns clockwise immediately opening S1 & S2.  It pulls the top into the stor-
age compartment.  The tension bar drive linkage is mechanically released from the top drive
as the motor continues to run.  Once the top is completely lowered microswitch S3 closes
signalling the control module to switch the motor off.
STORAGE COVER CLOSED
The storage cover motor is switched on and the drive linkage pulls the cover down.  As the
locking clamps grab onto the cover locks, the linkage engages the bowden cables and the
cover is locked closed.
The CVM monitors the storage lid position via the hall effect sensor signal.  When the fully
closed position is detected, the top cover motor is switched off.
WINDOW RAISING
If the top switch is held down after the top storage cover is closed,  the windows will auto-
matically close.  The EM top module signals the ZKE to closed the windows.  Once the top
switch is released the window operation is terminated.
