Convertible Top Hydraulic System
CAUTION!
Observe measures when disconnecting battery.
CAUTION!
Secure convertible top mechanism against unintentional folding up and down during all installation work as this can lead to personal injury or vehicle damage.
The hydraulic system is self-bleeding and maintenance-free.
When replacing the hydraulic cylinder or hoses, it is not necessary to top off hydraulic oil. There is sufficient hydraulic oil in the system so that the oil level does not go over or under the minimum markings.
If work is done as a result of hydraulic oil loss, the oil level should be checked before operating and adjusted if necessary.
Vehicles through 04.2006
The hydraulic system is switched off when the ignition is switched off or 10 minutes after the convertible top switch is operated when the ignition is switched on.
If the hydraulic pressure is maintained, the convertible top switch should be operated briefly with the ignition switched on.
Vehicles from 05.2006
When the ignition is switched off, the hydraulic system is switched off after 10 minutes.
To depressurize the system before this (for manual convertible top operation), the convertible top switch must be operated for 3 seconds with " ignition off".
If the hydraulic pressure is maintained, the convertible top switch should be operated briefly with the ignition switched on.
