  3. Push the roof upwards until it is fully open.
  4. A ladder stored in the rear wardrobe makes climbing up easier.

Close the roof

  1. Open the windows or a door to reduce the pressure
  2. Pull the bed down and make sure nothing is left on it.
  3. Unlock the right gas strut. To do this, press the tent on the passenger side in the marked area on the picture:

  4. At the same time, pull the pop-up roof down using the strap. Be careful, because at some point the roof will no longer be held by the gas struts and could fall on your head!
  5. Close it to about 20 cm and then pull the tent fabric inside.
  6. Check outside to see if the tent is trapped between the roof and the vehicle. If so, lift the roof slightly and push the overhanging tent fabric inside.
  7. Roll up the fabric, close the roof lock: Hook in the hook (2) and swing the handle all the way down to lock it.

Please note the following:

  • Never drive with the roof open!
  • When raising or lowering the pop-up roof, always open a window or door to equalize the pressure!
  • When closing the roof, always check that nothing is left on the mattress, the roof bed is down, the zippers of the roof windows are closed, and the tent fabric is not trapped in the tabs or sticking out of the vehicle.
  • Make sure the tent is dry before closing it to prevent mold from forming.
