aThe convertible top operates fully
automatically. Assistance with your
hand is necessary only as an exception
(refer to the note, next column).
Only operate the convertible top with
the vehicle stopped and do not drive off
during operation, as otherwise the pro-
cess will be interrupted. A half-opened
top can cause damage or injuries.
Remove foreign objects from the wind-
shield frame before closing the convert-
ible top, since these may prevent the top
from closing.
Do not lay objects on the convertible
top. They would fall off during top oper-
ation and cause damage or injuries.
When closing the power side windows
during driving, always close the rear
windows first or all four windows simul-
taneously, as otherwise the windows
may not seal tightly at higher speeds.c
aDo not reach into the convertible
top mechanism during opening and
closing. Keep children away from the
swiveling area of the convertible top
during operation.
Releasing the operating button for the
top immediately interrupts the automat-
ic movement. Movement can be contin-
ued in the desired direction by pressing
the appropriate button.c
bIf the convertible top has been
stored in the convertible top compart-
ment for a longer period, e.g., in the
winter when the hardtop is used, it may
be necessary to support the first auto-
matic closing operation by hand:
Should the top come to a stop shortly
before the end of the closing phase (still
open approx. 8 in/20 cm), reach into the
handle depression in the center of the
front convertible top frame and briefly
support the closing process while
pressing the button until it is automati-
cally continued.c
Opening and closing
1 To open
2 To close
Press the convertible top operating but-
ton until the opening or closing process
is completed.
The indicator lamp (arrow) lights up
continuously during convertible top
operation. The indicator lamp flashes
after releasing the button if the opening
or closing process is not yet completed.
