Video tutorial

As seen in the video, simply turn the lever to unlock and operate the internal electric button. A light will illuminate indicating that the lever is unlocked.

Then, return it to position, and finally, operate the control to open the roof. It will be closed and locked in the same manner.

It is essential that all of this is done while the car is stationary. Besides the obvious risks of doing it while the car is moving, you could damage the opening and closing mechanism integrated into the roof.

The operation itself does not require experience and is fully illustrated in the car manual.
