in the illustration above, the folded power
retractable hard top can be moved up or down

ion into place. Then press the upper section of
the cushion into place.

NOTE

This cushion is locked in place when the
vehicle is locked with the remote control.

Securing long objects

Long objects should be secured with one of the

the belt in the retractor as usual. If the vehicle
is equipped with the optional ski bag, pass the
seat belt through the bag’s handle before fas-
tening the seat belt.
