weather damage, it also offers a certain
amount of theft protection. However, even
when the convertible top is closed, valua‐
bles should only be stored in the locked
cargo area.▷Do not attach roof rack systems to the

wet, e.g., after driving in the rain, water
may drip into the cargo area. If necessary,
remove items from the cargo area before‐
hand to avoid water stains or soiling.

ation of the convertible top and cause
damage or injury.▷The convertible top pivots up when it is

sure that there is a minimum height of
79 inches/2 meters; otherwise, damage

tended, do not move the convertible top

ment to the end. Driving when the
