If the vehicle is accelerated above a speed of ap‐
prox. 30 mph/50 km/h while the convertible top is
being moved, the convertible top movement
stops.
Follow the following information:
Close the convertible top when the vehicle is
parked. A closed convertible top protects it
from weather-related damage and to some
extent from theft.
Even when the convertible top is closed, only
store valuables in the locked cargo area.
At higher speeds, negative pressure pro‐
duced in the car's interior causes the
convertible top to begin to flutter. Increase
the air flow via the ventilation to prevent neg‐
ative pressure in the vehicle.
It is not possible to start the engine and oper‐
ate the convertible top simultaneously. When
the engine is started using the Start/Stop
button or using the Auto Start/Stop function,
the convertible top movement is briefly inter‐
rupted.
Opening a door interrupts closure of the
convertible top.
In order to protect the battery, move the
convertible top only when the engine is run‐
ning.
Before closing the convertible top, remove
any foreign objects from the windshield
frame; otherwise, closing may be prevented.
Safety information
Warning
Body parts can be jammed when opening and
closing the convertible top. There is a risk of in‐
jury. When opening and closing the convertible
top, observe the movement and keep the area
of movement clear.
Warning
When operating the convertible top while driv‐
ing, the view to the rear may be limited. At
speeds above 30 mph/50 km/h the convertible
top stops in its current position. There is a dan‐
ger of accidents and property damage. When
operating the convertible top while driving, ob‐
serve traffic attentively and, if necessary, re‐
duce speed. Do not operate while backing up
or in windy weather.
Warning
The convertible top is not suitable for the
mounting of roof carrier systems. The roof car‐
rier could come loose. There is a risk of acci‐
dent. Do not attach any roof carrier systems to
the convertible top.
Warning
A convertible top that is not completely open or
closed is not locked and can open by itself
while driving due to the airstream. There is a
risk of injury or risk of damage to property.
Make sure that the convertible top is always
completely open or closed.
Warning
If there is a longer interruption of the
convertible top movement with the drive-ready
state ignition switched on, convertible top and
convertible top well storage cover remain in the
current position for several minutes before they
slowly go down. Lowering may need to be car‐
ried out in several stages. The stages are not
maintained permanently. If the drive-ready state
is switched off, convertible top and convertible
top well storage cover lower already after a
short period of time.
