Convertible: retractable
hardtop
The retractable hardto p combines reliable
weather protection with simple and convenient
operation.
The following tips will enhance your driving
pleasure in your Convertible:
> It is advisable that you close the retractable
hardtop when you park the vehicle. Not only
does the closed hardtop protect the vehicle
interior against unanticipated weather dam-
age, it also offers theft protection. However,
even when the hardtop is closed, valuables
should only be stored in the locked trunk.
> Do not attach roof rack systems to the
retractable hardtop, and in particular do not
attach magnetic racks.
> Do not attach rack sy stems to the trunk lid,
and in particular do not attach magnetic
racks.
> When the retractable hardtop is operated,
the trunk lid swings back and up. Before
operating the retracta ble hardtop, ensure
that there is enough clearance, e.g. when
parked in front of a wall.
> If you open the hardtop while it is wet, e.g.
after driving in the rain, water may drip into
the trunk. If necessary, remove items from
the trunk beforehand to avoid water stains
or soiling. Do not place any objects on the retract-
able hardtop or on
the trunk lid; other-
wise, they could fall du ring movements of the
retractable hardtop and cause damage or injury.
Never move the retractable hardtop when the
rollover protection system is in the activated
position.
Driving when the hardtop is not fully opened or
closed may result in damage or injury.
Do not reach into the mechanism during the
opening or closing procedure. Keep children
