the folded power retractable hard top can be moved up or down slightly to facilitate loading or unloading small objects.
NOTE: This movement is part of the normal power retractable hard top operation, which means that messages
pertaining to the power retractable hard top's operation (see page 73
) also apply to the this function.
WARNING!
Anyone near the vehicle should be well clear of the power retractable hard top's moving parts before it is operated.
CAUTION!

When the power retractable hard top has been raised for loading the trunk, or if its movement has been interrupted
