cluster displayPractical hints Car care Index If the indicator lamp in the soft top switch blinks slowly
while activating the switch,
•the battery voltage may be insufficient – start
engine and let it run while activating switch,
•the system may be overheated (for example after
lowering or raising the soft top approx. 5
consecutive times) – after approx. 10 minutes the
soft top switch may be activated again.
If indicator lamp in the soft top switch blinks rapidly
while activating the switch,
•the trunk lid and/or the luggage cover may be open,
and need to be closed,
•the soft top is still locked during the opening
procedure and needs to be unlocked,
•the opening/closing procedure is interrupted.
In this case the soft top needs to be synchronized.
Turn electronic key in steering lock back to
position 0, and then to position 2. Activate soft top
switch again. The soft top should now be operational
again.
If the indicator lamp continues to blink, raise the soft
top manually, see page 288. Have the system checked at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as possible.
Notes:
If the roll bar was raised automatically, the process of
raising or lowering the soft top will take somewhat
longer, as the roll bar must first be lowered.
Whenever possible, park vehicle in the shade as
continuous exposure to sun rays can prematurely
deteriorate the soft top material.
The soft top may become moldy and receive permanent
creases if it is kept in the storage compartment for an
extended period.
Therefore, we recommend raising and airing it
thoroughly with the side windows open (do not expose
it to the sun) at regular intervals during the wet and
cold seasons.
To prevent damage, the soft top must be dry and clean
before lowering it into the storage compartment. There
is the possibility of sharp-edged dirt particles damaging
the soft top or scratching the rear window.

after turning electronic key in starter switch to
position 2 and the message “TELE AID – NOT
ACTIVATED” will be shown in the multifunction display
for approx. 10 seconds.

Aid” (USA only), you will have access to account
information, remote door unlock, profile and more.

Tele Aid utilizes the cellular network for
communication and the GPS (Global Positioning

signals are unavailable, the Tele Aid system may not
function and if this occurs, assistance must be
summoned by other means.
