̈ Pull hex wrench 2 out and take weight
off head restraint.

Soft top emergency operation
If the soft top cannot be automatically
closed, check the following:
ț Is the luggage cover engaged in place
(
୴ page 216)?
ț Is the ski sack roller blind closed
(
୴ page 217)?
ț Have the roll bars been released?
ț Is the trunk lid closed?
ț Is there sufficient on-board voltage?
Start the engine if necessary.
These messages will also appear in the
multifunction display (
୴ page 342).
If automatic operation still does not func-
tion properly, you can close the soft top
manually.
This procedure should be performed with
great care by two persons.
!
Manually closing the soft top is a com-
plicated and technically demanding
procedure. Close the soft top manually
in emergency cases only. Otherwise,
visit an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. Please read the instructions
fully before beginning operation and
only undertake it with another person
and if you feel fully capable of perform-
ing the tasks involved.
