Convertible top compartment cover cylinder 

The convertible top compartment cover cylinders are not activated.

The check valve contained within comes into use through the energized solenoid valve F1. This prevents the cylinder from running idle in the pressure stage and the convertible top compartment cover from being closed.

Main cylinder 

The pressure stages for both main cylinders are directly charged with hydraulic pressure via the energized solenoid valve F3.

The cylinders run out and the convertible top is raised.

Bracket cylinder 

The bracket cylinders are not activated.

Both bracket cylinders are partially run out by the convertible top mechanics.
