7.5
Convertible Roof (market specific)
Manual Raise and Lock
In the unlikely event of the roof failing during raising or lowering, it
can be manually raised and locked, if required.
Warning: Aston Martin recommend that a minimum of two
people are required to manually raise and lock the roof. The
roof mechanism is heavy and will move very slowly when being
raised manually.
Warning: Keep fingers clear of the roof linkage when moving
the roof manually.
Vehicle Security: If the roof fails always raise and lock the
roof. Do not lower the roof. Tonneau lid locks will not be
available.
If the roof fails in the stored position it can stay stored and locked
if required. Contact your Aston Martin Dealer.
If the roof fails after the tonneau locks have been released the
message ROOF FAIL will show in the message centre (right) and a
continuous audible warning will sound until the roof has been locked
in the raised position.
If installed, remove and store the wind deflector(Refer to ’Wind
Deflector’, page 7.9).
Remove the Allen key from the
vehicle tool kit (A) and place in the
vehicle cabin.
The Allen key is required to
lock the roof in position.
Remove the vehicle key and wait for a minimum of five seconds.
During this time the roof hydraulics will relax allowing manual
movement of the roof. Some hydraulic fluid resistance will still be in
the operating rams. It may take considerable effort to fully raise the
roof manually.
Close the Roof Manually: If the Tonneau Lid is Closed with
the Roof on Top
Manually raise the roof to the fully closed position.
Make sure that the hook on the last roof joint engages
correctly on both sides.
