factors and that it does not interfere with
other drivers.
— Visibility to the rear is limited when operat-
ing the power top. Avoid operating the top

er top to open. This can result in injuries and
damage to the vehicle.
— Make sure no one will be injured by the pow-
er top supports or other moving compo-
nents when opening and closing the top.
— The headroom in the rear is reduced when
opening and closing the power top. Make
sure the rear passengers keep enough dis-
tance from the power top to reduce the risk

storage compartment.
— make sure there is enough space above the
vehicle when opening or closing the power

er top repeatedly when the engine is switch-
ed off.
