Hardtop buttons
Functional requirements
The ignition or radio-ready state must be
switched on.
The following requirements must be fulfilled in
order to be able to move the hardtop.
▷The trunk partition is flipped down.▷The loading aid, refer to page 147, is shut
down.▷The trunk lid is closed.▷The external temperature is above
14 ℉/-10 ℃.▷The voltage of the vehicle electrical system
is sufficient.▷The hardtop drive is not overheating.▷The vehicle speed is not too high.▷The lateral tilt of the vehicle is not too
great.▷The windows can be lowered.
If this requirement is not met, a check control
message is displayed.
Safety information
Note the swivel range of the hardtop
The hardtop pivots back and up during
opening and closing. When the hardtop is
moved, e.g., in garages, make sure that the
space at the top is at least 79 inches/2 meters
and the space at the rear is at least 20 in‐
ches/50 centimeters; otherwise, damages may
result.◀
Do not place objects on the hardtop
Do not place any objects on the hardtop,
otherwise, they could fall and cause damage or
injuries.◀
No hardtop movement when rollover pro‐
tection is activated
Do not move the hardtop when rollover protec‐
tion is activated; otherwise, it may result in
damage to the hardtop.◀
Open and close hardtop completely
Always open or close the hardtop com‐
pletely. Hardtop and hardtop well storage
cover are locked in the final positions. Driving
with the hardtop or hardtop well storage cover
unlocked can result in damage.◀
Do not reach into the hardtop mecha‐
nism
Do not reach into the hardtop mechanism dur‐
ing the opening and closing operation. Keep
children away from the opening path of the
hardtop, otherwise, there is a risk of injury.◀
Observe traffic during operation
When the hardtop is opened while driv‐
ing, be alert to traffic; otherwise, it may result in
an accident. If possible, do not move the hard‐
top while driving in reverse because rearward
vision is severely impaired while the hardtop is
in motion. During windy conditions, do not op‐
erate the hardtop while driving.◀Seite 47Opening and closingControls47

This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and
systems. The respectively applicable country
provisions must be observed when using the
respective features and systems.

P when the ignition is switched off
P is engaged automatically when the ig‐
nition is switched off. When in an automatic car
wash, e.g., ensure that the ignition is not
switched off accidentally.◀
The ignition automatically cuts off while the
vehicle is stationary and the engine is stopped:▷When locking the vehicle, and when the
low beams are activated.▷Shortly before the battery is discharged
completely, so that the engine can still be
started. This function is only available
when the low beams are turned off.▷When opening or closing the driver door, if
the driver's safety belt is unbuckled and
the low beams are turned off.▷While the driver's safety belt is unbuckled
with driver's door open and low beams off.
The low beams switch to parking lights after
approx. 15 minutes of no use.
Radio ready state
Activate radio-ready state:
▷When the engine is running: press the

The radio-ready state switches off automati‐
cally:▷After approx. 8 minutes.▷When the vehicle is locked using the cen‐
tral locking system.▷Shortly before the battery is discharged
completely, so that the engine can still be
started.
The radio-ready state remains active if, e.g.,
the ignition is automatically switched off for the
following reasons:
▷Opening or closing the driver's door.▷Unfastening of the driver's safety belt.▷When automatically switching from low
beams to parking lights.
If the engine is switched off and the ignition is
switched on, the system automatically
switches to the radio-ready state if the lights
are turned off or, if correspondingly equipped,
the daytime running lights are activated.
Starting the engine
Hints Enclosed areas
Do not let the engine run in enclosed
areas, since breathing in exhaust fumes may
lead to loss of consciousness and death. The
exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an
odorless and colorless but highly toxic gas.◀
Unattended vehicle
Do not leave the vehicle unattended with
the engine running; doing so poses a risk of
danger.
Before leaving the vehicle with the engine run‐
ning, set the parking brake and engage trans‐
mission position P; otherwise, the vehicle may
begin to move.◀
Repeated starting in quick succession
Avoid trying to start the vehicle repeat‐
edly and in quick succession. Otherwise, the
fuel is not burned or is inadequately burned,
posing a risk of overheating and damage to the
catalytic converter.◀
Do not wait for the engine to warm-up while
the vehicle remains stationary. Start driving at
moderate engine speeds.

tion D.▷Brake pedal remains depressed while the
vehicle is stopped.▷The driver's safety belt is buckled or the
driver's door is closed.
Manual transmission:
▷Neutral is engaged and the clutch pedal is
not pressed.▷The driver's safety belt is buckled or the
driver's door is closed.
The air flow from the air conditioner is reduced
when the engine is switched off.
Displays in the instrument cluster The READY display in the tach‐
ometer signals that the Auto
Start/Stop function is ready to
start the engine automatically.
The display indicates that the
conditions for an automatic en‐
gine stop have not been met.
Functional limitations The engine is not switched off automatically in
the following situations:
