Raising the Soft Top

1 Soft top completely lowered
The same conditions apply for raising the soft top as for lowering it.
The soft top is raised by pressing the ROOF button forwards until the soft top is completely raised (closed) and an acoustic signal is heard from SID.
The soft top is raised sequentially, i.e. each movement must be completed before starting the next.
The following table illustrates the switch and microswitch conditions when the soft top is completely lowered (open) and the soft top cover locked.

Switch/Microswitch Condition
Windscreen frame, left OFF
Windscreen frame, right OFF
Main cylinder, up OFF
Main cylinder, down ON
Fifth bow cylinder, up OFF
Fifth bow cylinder, down ON
Fifth bow intermediate OFF
position
Fifth bow latch, left OFF
Fifth bow latch, right OFF
Soft top cover cylinder, up OFF
Soft top cover latch, left ON
Soft top cover latch, right ON

If a malfunction should occur while operating the soft top, the STC control module will send bus messages Sound and Text message, whereby SID sounds an acoustic signal at the same time as it displays an error message.

The following tables and illustrations show which condition switches/microswitches, pump, valves as well as relay assume for the fifth bow latch motor at each movement sequence.
