1. Prepare the Car: Park your Golf Cabriolet on a level surface, turn off the engine, and ensure that the parking brake is engaged.
2. Unlock the Roof: Locate the roof release button inside the cabin, usually near the center console or the door. Press and hold the button to unlock the roof.
3. Retract the Roof: Once unlocked, the roof will automatically start to retract. It will fold in stages until it is completely stored in the compartment behind the rear seats.
4. Secure the Roof Cover: After the roof is completely retracted, make sure the roof cover is securely closed and latched to protect the interior from the elements.
Closing the Roof:
1. Prepare the Car: Similar to opening the roof, park your Golf Cabriolet on a level surface, turn off the engine, and apply the parking brake.
2. Secure the Roof Cover: Ensure that the roof cover is fully open before proceeding.
3. Raise the Roof: Press and hold the roof release button again, this time to raise the roof. It will start to rise automatically.
4. Complete the Retraction: Once the roof has risen to its full height, it will need to be manually retracted into place. Gently push down on the roof until it is completely latched and secured.
5. Check and Lock: Double-check that the roof is securely closed and locked before driving off.
Note: If you encounter resistance or problems while operating the roof, consult your vehicle's owner manual or seek professional assistance.
