WARNING
When retracting the AIRCAP, persons could
become caught in the moving mechanism.
There is a risk of injury.
Ensure that persons do not hold onto the
upper frame of the windshield and do not
touch the AIRCAP wind deflector.
With AIRCAP, four people can travel
comfortably with the soft top open. AIRCAP
reduces the draft for the driver and
passengers in both the fron tand the rear
compartment in a vehicle with the soft top
down.
AIRCAP has the following components:
R a speed-dependent wind deflector above
the windshield
R an AIRCAP wind screen between the two
head restraints on the rea rbench seat
When AIRCAP has been activated, the
AIRCAP wind screen between the two rear
seat head restraints extends upwards. At a
speed of approximately 25 mph (40k m/h) or
higher, the wind deflector on the windshield
also extends. If you drive at speeds below
approximately 9mph (15 km/h), the wind
deflector retracts automatically.
AIRCAP can be activated or deactivated up to
speeds of approximately 100 mph
(160 km/h). Activating AIRCAP

If the speed-dependent AIRCAP wind
deflector also extends, a second indicator
lamp lights up. The head restraints on the rear bench seats
and AIRCAP wind screen
0003move to the
center position.
When a seat belt in the rear compartment is

every vehicle occupant that the center of the
head restraint supports the back of the head
at about eye level.

Frequent cleaning reduces the soft top's
resistance to dirt.
To restore this resistance to dirt, clea
nthe
soft top using soft top cleaning agents that
have been recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
Incorrect cleaning and care, as well as aging,
can cause the soft-top seams to leak. Have
the soft-top seams sealed at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. at an authorized
Mercedes-Ben zCenter.
i Cover the soft top appropriately if you
plan to leave the vehicle outside for a long
period of time.

with a moist cloth and care and cleaning
agents recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
Cleaning the wheels !
Do no tuse acidic wheel cleaning products
to remove brake dust. This could damage
wheel bolts and brake components.
! Do not park the vehicle for an extended
period straight after cleaning it, particularly
after having cleaned the wheels with wheel
cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
increased corrosion of the brake discs and
brake pads/linings. For this reason, you
should drive for a few minutes after
cleaning. Braking heats the brake discs and
the brake pads/linings, thus drying them.
The vehicle can then be parked.
Cleaning the windows G
WARNING
You could become trapped by the windshield
wipers if they start moving while cleaning the
windshield or wiper blades. There is a risk of
injury.
Always switch off the windshield wipers and
the ignition before cleaning the windshield or
wiper blades.
! Do not use dry cloths, abrasive products,
solvents or cleaning agents containing
solvents to clean the inside of the windows.
Do not touch the insides of the windows with hard objects, e.g. an ice scraper or
ring. There is otherwise a risk of damaging
the windows.
! Cleant he water drainage channels of the
windshield and the rear window at regular
intervals. Deposits such as leaves, petals
and pollen may under certain
circumstances prevent water from draining
away.T his can lead to corrosion damage
and damage to electronic components.
X Cleant he inside and outside of the
windows with a damp cloth and a cleaning
product that is recommended and
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Cleaning wiper blades G
WARNING
You could become trapped by the windshield
wipers if they start moving while cleaning the
windshield or wiper blades. There is a risk of
injury.
Always switch off the windshield wipers and
the ignition before cleaning the windshield or
wiper blades.
! Do not pull the wiper blade. Otherwise,
the wiper blade could be damaged.
! Do not clean wiper blades too often and
do not rub them too hard. Otherwise, the
graphite coating could be damaged. This
could cause wiper noise.
! Hold the wiper arm securely when folding
back. The windshield could be damaged if
the wiper arm smacks against it suddenly.
X Fold the windshield wiper arms away from
the windshield.
X Carefully clean the wiper blades with a
damp cloth.
X Fold the windshield wiper arms back again
before switching on the ignition. 322
