Soft top (Roadster)
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If you do not fully open/close the soft top, the
soft-top hydraulics depressurize after a short
time. This causes the soft top to lower unex-
pectedly and may cause you or others to be
trapped. There is a risk of injury.
Always open or close the soft top completely.
!
Never sit on the soft top or store heavy
objects on it. You will otherwise damage the
vehicle soft top and soft-top covers.
!
When opening and closing the soft top,
make sure that:
R
there is sufficient clearance above it, as the
soft top swings upwards
R
there are no objects on the soft top or the
soft-top covers to the side
R
the fabric is not dirty, wet or frozen
R
the outside temperature is above -10 †
You could otherwise damage the soft top as
well as other parts of the vehicle.
Take the height of the vehicle into account when
opening and closing the soft top (Y page 293).
Make sure that the soft top is dry and clean
before opening or closing it. Otherwise, water or
dirt could enter the vehicle interior or trunk.
You can open or close the soft top:
R
when the vehicle is stationary or
R
when you do not exceed a speed of 31 mph
(50 km/h) (Max. 37 mph (60 km/h), to avoid
interrupting the closing process while slightly
exceeding this speed)
If there is a strong head wind, it may not be pos-
sible to close the soft top fully. In order to close
the soft top fully, reduce your speed or stop the
vehicle in accordance with the traffic condi-
tions.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only open or close the soft top
when the vehicle is stationary.
If the soft top does not open or close fully, the
soft-top hydraulics are depressurized and the
soft top is lowered:
R
after approximately 7 minutes when the igni-
tion is switched on
R
after about
20 seconds if the ignition is switched off

WARNING
When opening or closing the soft top, there is
a risk that parts of the body could become
trapped by moving parts such as the roof
mechanism, the trunk lid, or the side win-
dows. There is a risk of injury.
When opening or closing the roof, make sure
that no parts of the body are in the vicinity of
moving parts. Release the switch if somebody
becomes trapped.

WARNING
If the vehicle speed exceeds 37 mph
(60 km/h), the soft top stops during the open-
ing or closing procedure. This impairs your
view to the rear. There is a risk of an accident.
Reduce your speed to below 37 mph
(60 km/h) or stop the vehicle in accordance
with the traffic conditions. Press or pull the
soft-top switch again in order to open or close
the soft top fully.
