convertible top whenever the vehicle is
parked.
The closed convertible top not only pro-
tects the vehicle interior from damage
due to unforeseen bad weather, but also
provides a certain degree of protection
against theft

>Even when the convertible top is closed,

keep valuable items in the locked lug-
gage compartment or in the lockable
glove compartment

>Do not mount any roof rack systems on

the convertible top

>To avoid damage, do not operate the

convertible top at temperatures below
14

7/ –10 6.

Do not leave the convertible top
folded for more than one day if it is

wet, to prevent permanent damage from
moisture. Do not place any objects on the
convertible top, as they could otherwise fall
off while the convertible top is being oper-
ated and result in damage or personal
injury.

Only operate the convertible top
when the vehicle is at a standstill.

Otherwise, the procedure cannot be carried
out or it will be interrupted.

Driving off before an opening or clos-
ing procedure is completely finished

can lead to damage or personal injury.
Do not reach into the convertible top mech-
anism during the opening or closing proce-
dure. Keep children away from the swivel-
ing area of the convertible top while it is in
operation.
To close the power side windows while the
vehicle is in motion, always close the rear
windows first or all four windows at the
same time. Otherwise the windows will not
close tightly if the vehicle is being driven at
higher speeds.
