Body System (01.00)
Convertible Roof and Roof Opening Subsystem (01.17)
System Description
The convertible roof system comprises of an electrically dr iven hydraulic pump and six hydraulic rams. Four rams raise
and lower the roof and two raise and lower the tonneau cover. The pump is powered via either the 'Hydraulic Pump Fluid
In' or 'Hydraulic Pump Fluid Out' relay and is instructed vi a the Convertible Roof Module (CRM). The CRM is activated by
the Console mounted Roof Switch. A further module controls the position and drive command for the Tonneau Latches.
The roof hydraulic pump is protected by a 30A fuse. During Roof Operation the door glass and boot release commands
are also controlled by the CRM.
