Opening and closing the soft top
You can open or close the soft top either
when the vehicle is stationary or when driving
up to aspeed of 40 m/h.
If there is astron ghead wind, it may not be
possible to close the soft top fully. In this case, reduce speed or stop in order to close
the soft top fully.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only open or close the soft
top when the vehicle is stationary. G
Risk of accident and injury
Only drive with the soft top fully open or
closed.
If the soft top does not open or close fully, the
soft-top hydraulics are depressurised and the
soft top is lowered:
R after about seven minutes if the ignition is
switched on
R immediately if the ignition is switched off
Aw arning tones ounds shortly beforehand.
The Top being opened message appears in
the multifunction display.
Lock the soft top again before driving on. Oth-
erwise, the unlocked soft top could open dur-
ing the journey and cause you to lose control
of your vehicle. You or other persons could be
injured as aresult.
! Never sit on the soft-top compartment
cover and do not store any heavy objects
on it. You will otherwise damage the soft
top and soft-top compartment cover of the
vehicle.
! The soft top swings upwards when it is
opened or closed. In order to avoid dam-
aging the soft top or other parts of the vehi-
cle when opening or closing the soft top,
observe the following:
R there must be sufficient clearance above
the vehicle.
R the boot separator must be closed and
must not be pushed upwards by the load.
R there must not be any object sonthe
soft-top compartment cover. 160

The tyre pressure loss warning system does
not replace the need to regularly check your
vehicle's tyre pressures, since an even loss of
pressure on several tyres at the same time
cannot be detected by the tyre pressure loss
warning system.
The tyre pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of asudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the
tyre is penetrated by aforeign object.
In the event of asudden loss of pressure, bring
the vehicle to ahalt by braking carefully. Do
not make any sudden steerin gmovements
when doing so.
The function of the tyre pressure loss warning
system is limited or delaye dif:
R snow chains are fitted to your vehicle's
tyres.
R road conditions are wintry.
R you are driving on sand or gravel.
R you adopt avery sporty driving style (cor-
nering at high speeds or driving with high
rates of acceleration).
R you are towing avery heavy or large trailer.
R you are driving with aheavy load (in the
vehicle or on the roof).
Restarting the tyrep ressureloss warn-
ing system Restart the tyre pressure loss warning system
if you have:
R

R changed the wheels or tyres
R fitted new wheels or tyres
X Before restarting, consult the table of tyre
pressures on the inside of the fuel filler flap
to ensure that the tyre pressure in all four
tyres is set correctly for the respective
operating conditions.
X Observe the notes in the section on tyre
pressures (Y page 186). G
Risk of accident
The tyre pressure loss warning system can
only give reliable warnings if you have set the
correc ttyre pressure.
If an incorrect tyre pressure is set, these
incorrect values will be monitored.
At yre with insufficien tpressure results in
vehicle instability when driving, thus increas-
ing the risk of an accident.

The tyre pressure values stored at the last
restart will continue to be monitored. Interchanging the wheels
G
Risk of accident
Interchange the fron tand rear wheels only if
they have the same dimensions :for example
size, offset ,etc.
After awheel is changed, have the tightening
torque checked at aspecialist workshop that
has the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools to carry out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Servic eCentre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety or
on safety-related systems must be carried out
at aq ualified specialist workshop.
The wheels could work loose if they are not
tightened to atorque of 130 Nm.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use wheel bolts of the
correc tsize which have been approved for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
The wear patterns on the fronta nd rear tyres
differ, depending on the operating conditions.
Interchange the wheels before aclear wear
patter nhas formed on the tyres. Frontt yres
typically wear more on the shoulders and the
rear tyres in the centre.
On vehicles that have the same size fronta nd
rear wheels you can interchange the wheels
every 5,000 km to 10,00 0kmdepending on
the degree of tyre wear. Do not reverse the
direction of tyre rotation.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and
the brake disc thoroughly every time awheel
is interchanged. Check the tyre pressure and,
if necessary, restart the tyre pressure loss
warning system*. Winter driving
Points to remember
Have your vehicle winterproofed at aqualified
specialist workshop, e.g. at aMercedes-Benz
Servic eCentre, at the onset of winter.
Observe the notes in the "Changing awheel"
section (Y page 189). Winter tyres
Use winter tyres at temperatures below
+7 ˚C and in wintry road conditions. Only
winter tyres displaying the 004Dsnowflake
symbol in addition to the M+S markin gpro-
vide optimum grip in wintry road conditions.
Only these tyres will allow the ABS and ESP
driving systems to function optimally in win-
ter, as these tyres have been designed spe-
cifically for driving on snow.
Use winter tyres of the same make and tread
on all wheels to maintain safe handling char-
acteristics. G
Risk of accident
Winter tyres with atread depth of less than
4mmm ust be replaced immediately. They are
no longer suitable for winter use and can no
longer provide sufficient grip. This could
cause you to lose control of your vehicle and
cause an accident.
Always observe the maximum permissible
speed specified for the winter tyres you have
fitted. If you fit winter tyres which have a
lower maximum permissible speed than that
of the vehicle, affix an appropriate warning
sign in the driver's field of vision. This can be
obtained at aqualified specialist workshop,
e.g. from aMercedes-Benz Servic eCentre.
Under these circumstances, you should also
restrict the maximum speed of the vehicle
using permanen tSpeedtronic 37
to the maxi-
mum permissible speed for the winter tyres
(Y page 135).
