Retractable hardtop
General information
Adhere to the following instructions:
▷ It is advisable that you close the retractable
hardtop when you park the vehicle. Not only
does the closed hardtop protect the vehicle
interior against unanticipated weather dam‐
age, it also offers theft protection. However,
even when the hardtop is closed, valuables
should only be stored in the locked cargo
area.
▷ Do not attach roof rack systems to the re‐
tractable hardtop, and in particular do not
attach magnetic racks.
▷ Do not attach rack systems to the trunk lid,
and in particular do not attach magnetic
racks.
▷ When the retractable hardtop is operated,
the trunk lid swings back and up.
Before operating the retractable hardtop,
ensure that there is enough clearance, e.g.,
in tight parking spaces.
▷ If you open the hardtop while it is wet, e.g.,
after driving in the rain, water may drip into
the trunk.
If necessary, remove items from the cargo
area beforehand to avoid water stains or
soiling.
▷ At temperatures below 14 ℉/-10 ℃, the re‐
tractable hardtop cannot be moved.
A message appears on the Control Display.
Do not touch the mechanism and keep the
opening path clear.
During opening and closing, do not reach into
the mechanism and keep children away from the
opening path of the retractable hardtop; other‐
wise, there is the risk of injury.◀
Only open or close the hardtop while the
vehicle is stationary.
Do not drive away until the hardtop movement
is completed. Driving when the hardtop is not
fully opened or not fully closed may result in
damage or injury.◀
Do not place objects on the retractable
hardtop.
Do not place any objects on the retractable hard‐
top or on the trunk lid; otherwise, they could fall
during movements of the retractable hardtop
and cause damage or injury.◀
Before opening and closing

mediate position when opening or closing. Oth‐
