driving, pay extra attention to the traffic to
avoid an accident. If possible, do not move the
convertible top while driving in reverse because
your view to the rear is severely limited during
the procedure. Do not operate the convertible
top while the vehicle is moving through curves,
on uneven road surfaces, or in wind. ◀

tinued in the desired direction by pushing

or closed is a source of danger. ◀

rupted immediately if the switch for convertible
top operation is released. The sequence can be
continued in the desired direction by pushing
or pulling the switch.
When the opening or closing procedure is inter‐
rupted because the switch is released, the
convertible top remains in the position in which
it stopped for a few seconds before it slowly
moves to a stable position. The sequence can
be continued using the switch.
The opening or closing procedure is also inter‐
rupted when it is blocked mechanically. To be
able to reactivate the convertible top in this
case:1.Switch the ignition off and on again.2.Press the switch to continue the sequence
in the desired direction.
Opening and closing procedure

Do not interrupt and resume the closing
procedure several times in close succession as
this could damage the convertible top mecha‐
nism. ◀

times in close succession, the convertible top
can only be moved in one direction, the
convertible top system is overheated. Let the
system cool for approx. 4 minutes.

change the battery or to put the vehicle into
storage, reinitialize, refer to page 41, the power
windows; otherwise, the windows will not be
lowered, and it will not be possible to open the
convertible top.

control, refer to page 32, and the door lock, re‐
fer to page 34.
