62 9-3 Convertible Raising the soft top manually WARNING Only raise the soft top manually in an emergency (e.g. due to an electrical fault). Do not touch the soft top button on the instrument panel while closing the soft top manually. This could cause personal injury and damage the soft top mechanism. Do not fold the soft top having closed it manually. This can damage the soft top mechanism. If the soft top has been folded mechanically there will be a delay of 20 seconds before it is possible to raise it manually (the pressure must be released from the hydraulic system). If the car is without electrical power, the trunk must be unlocked manually. Refer to page 73.
