Storing end position of the roll-up sunblind
The end positions of the sunblind are lost after disconnecting/connecting the vehicle battery,
if the vehicle battery is exhausted or after jump lead starting, after emergency operation or after changing the fuse for the sunblind.
The sunblind closes with its full closing force when storing the end position.fEnsure that nobody is injured when closing the sunblind.
To store the end position for the sunblind, the vehicle must be stationary and the end position for the roof must already be stored.1. Switch on ignition. 2. Press and hold button A in the first setting until the sunblind closes and stops in the closed position.The process for storing the end position begins after approximately 10 seconds. The sunblind now opens and closes once automatically. Storage is now complete.If this process is not executed, please perform the following procedure:Press and hold button A in the first setting until the sunblind closes fully and stops. If necessary, repeat the closing operation until the sunblind has stopped moving completely.The process takes a maximum of 15 seconds.Start the storing process again if the button is released before the sunblind has stopped moving completely.
Cleaning the air deflector
Cleaning the air deflector with the roof open.
1. Switch on the ignition and open the roof fully with button B. If the air deflector is not fully extended, drive the vehicle for a short distance with the roof open until it is fully extended.2. Clean the air deflector and net using a damp sponge.
Convertible Top
Brief operating instructions can be found on the back of the driver’s sun visor.fPlease see the chapter “CAR CARE INSTRUCTIONS” on page 231.
Risk of damage to convertible top and convertible- top mechanism.fDo not operate convertible top:– At temperatures below 20 °F (0 °C).– When one side of the vehicle is on a curb, a lifting platform or a jack.– When items of luggage or other objects hinder the movement of the convertible top.– With the roll-over bars extended.fAvoid frequent operation of the convertible top with the engine off; the vehicle battery will rapidly discharge.fOnly drive with the convertible top fully open or closed (end positions).fBefore opening the convertible top, ensure that there are no objects in the area behind the rear seats.fWhen opening or closing the convertible top, ensure that there is sufficient clearance above it (e.g. in the garage).fTo prevent damp stains and abrasion damage, open the convertible top only when it is in a dry, clean state.fPark the vehicle in the shade if possible, since continuous exposure to the sun attacks textiles, rubber and colors.fThe convertible top may only be operated when driving on a level surface.fThe convertible top must not be operated in a strong head wind (above approx. 50 mph (80 km/h)).
