Emergency Roof Operation; To Raise The Roof - Aston Martin DB11 Owner's Handbook Manual

Emergency Roof operation

In the unlikely event of the roof failing during raising or lowering,
it can be manually raised and locked.
Warning: Make sure the ignition is set to off before you
begin this procedure. This will prevent accidental operation
of the roof which can cause injury.
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.
Caution: Vehicle Security: If the roof fails, always raise and
lock the roof. Do not lower the roof as 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 "Open/close top completely" will show in the instrument
cluster and a continuous audible warning will sound until the roof
has been locked in the raised position.
