Cabriolet
The Cabriolet, with its weatherproof soft top, of -
fers you all the protection of a Coupe . Its design
facilitates e as y opening and closing of the fold-
ing top .
There is a summarised set of instructions in the
handle recess in the folding top frame
When opening or closing the folding top, en-
sure that fingers, hands, hair etc . do not get
caught between the linkage or between the
folding top and the windscreen frame, as this
may result in injury .
Do not leave the folding top open over long peri-
ods of time (several days) . If possible, close the
folding top overnight, as this protects the ma-
terial and the rear window.
Whenever possible, park your Porsche in the
shade, as continuous sunshine will attack the
material, rubber and colour.
The vehicle may only be driven when the folding
top is secured either at the front or at the rear .
If one side of the vehicle is up on a kerb, on a
lifting platform or on a jack, the folding top must
not be opened or closed.

into the glove compartment.
