Safety In The Intermediate Positions

All movements of the top stop once the switch is released. The hydraulics hold the position of the top and remain under pressure for approximately 20 minutes if the ignition key is left in the ON position.

If the ignition is switched OFF, in the intermediate position, the pressure will be released in steps after approximately 10 seconds until all pressure is drained from the cylinders. This allows the top to be manually moved for servicing procedures.

NOTE: Depending on the position, the top may collapse into the storage compartment if the ignition is switched off with the top in the partially raised position.
