> 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 +147/–106, do

not move the convertible top as this could

result in damage.

Do not keep the convertible top in the convert-

ible 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, as

otherwise they may fall off when you operate

the convertible top 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 opening/closing path of the con-

vertible top.

For safety reasons, only move the convertible

top when the vehicle is stationary, 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 91, 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 20.

As of radio readiness, refer to page 47:

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.<

Operation while driving

You can open or close the convertible top while

driving, as long as the car is not moving faster

than approx. 25 mph/40 km/h.

If you accelerate to over 30 mph/50 km/h while

the convertible top is moving, the procedure is

interrupted.

When operating the convertible top while

driving, pay extra attention to the traffic to

avoid an accident. If possible, do not move the

convertible top while driving in reverse gear,

because your view to the rear is severely limited

during the procedure. Do not operate the con-

vertible top while driving in windy conditions.

Do not drive faster than 30 mph/50 km/h, other-

wise damage to the vehicle can occur.<
