Items being transported in the area behind the seats
should be placed in such a manner as not to affect the
movement of the roll bar when being raised.
Note:
If the indicator lamps in the switch are blinking or if the
warning lamp in the instrument cluster comes on, then
a malfunction has been detected.
In this case, drive only with the roll bar raised until the
problem has been corrected. Raise the roll bar by
pressing the upper half of the roll bar switch. The
indicator lamps in the switch will go out, however, the
warning lamp in the instrument cluster will stay on.
Have the system checked at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as possible.
Important!
The roll bar is intended to be a safety enhancement to
the other features designed into the vehicle. No system
in any vehicle can eliminate the possibility of serious
injury or fatality in an accident. Properly fastened seat
belts and child restraints must be used!
Warning
This vehicle is a two occupant vehicle. The rear
storage area should never be used by any persons.
Raising or lowering of the roll bar could injure rear
seated occupants.
Before operating the roll bar switch make sure that
the roll bar’s path is clear and no persons due to
inattention are injured by the moving roll bar.
For your own safety we recommend to drive with
the roll bar raised, if
• the outside temperature is below +5 °F (-15°C)
• the soft top is closed and pets are placed in the
rear storage area.
