The following tips will enhance your driving

pleasure in your convertible:

> It is advisable that you close the convertible

top when you park the vehicle. Not only

does the closed top protect the vehicle inte-

rior against unanticipated weather damage,

it also offers a certain amount of theft pro-

tection. However, even when the top is

closed, valuables should only be stored in

the locked cargo bay.

> Do not attach roof-mounted luggage sys-

tems to the convertible top.

> When opening a wet top, e.g. after driving in

the rain, water may drip into the cargo bay. If

necessary, remove items from the cargo

bay beforehand to avoid water stains or soil-

ing.

At temperatures below +14°F/-10°C, do

not move the convertible top or damage

may occur.

Do not keep the convertible top in the top box

for longer than one day if it is wet, otherwise the

moisture may cause damage.

Do not place objects on the convertible top, or

they may fall off when the top is operated and

cause damage or injury.

Never move the convertible top when the roll-

over protection system is in the activated posi-

tion.

Always fully complete a convertible top move-

ment. Driving with the convertible top incom-

pletely opened or closed can result in damage

or injury.

Do not reach into the mechanism during the

opening or closing procedure. Keep children

away from the convertible top while it is moving.

For safety reasons, only move the convertible

top while the vehicle is standing, if possible.<

The convertible top swings upward when

opening and closing. When operating the

convertible top in a garage, under a bridge, etc.,

ensure that there are at least 6 ft 7 in/2 m of

headroom, otherwise the vehicle may be dam-

aged.<

Before opening and closing

> Comply with the safety precautions

described above.

> Ensure that the cargo bay partition is folded

down and engaged on both sides, refer to

page 108, otherwise it will not be possible

to open the convertible top.

> Ensure that the cargo does not press

against the cargo bay partition from below.

> Ensure that the luggage compartment lid is

closed.

Opening and closing

Convertible top operation with convenient

access, refer also to page 36.

As of radio readiness, refer to page 58:

If possible, conserve the battery by only

operating the convertible top when the

engine is running.

Before closing the convertible top, remove all

foreign objects from the windshield frame as

these could prevent the hardtop from closing

properly.<
