Emergency engine shut-down
If the engine can no longer be stopped using the key, the
engine can be turned off by removing two fuses.
For easy removal of fuses use the fuse extractor
(supplied with vehicle tool kit) to pull out the fuses
marked on the fuse chart as “ENGINE EMERGENCY
OFF”.
The fuse chart is also located in the vehicle tool kit,
see page 196.
For fuses see page 188.Raising hardtop manually
In case of malfunction, the hardtop can also be raised
manually. This procedure should be performed with
great care by 2 persons.
Prior to raising the hardtop manually, make certain that
all points listed under Retractable Hardtop (see
page 120) were observed.
A hex-socket wrench, located on the inside of the
right-hand cover in the trunk, is required for this job.
1.Open doors or lower windows.
2.For safety reasons, remove key from steering lock.
3.Open trunk.
