Opening and closing
In the radio ready state or beyond, refer to
page 50,
and when the vehicle is stationary:
If possible, conserve the battery by only operat‐
ing the retractable hardtop when the engine is
running. Before closing the retractable hardtop,
remove all foreign objects from the windshield
frame as these could prevent the hardtop from
closing properly.
1 Press and hold button 1:
The retractable hardtop closes.
2 Press and hold button 2:
The retractable hardtop opens.
3 LEDs
The side windows move down when the hardtop
is opened or closed.
If the windows pause briefly as they move, this
is for technical reasons and is not a malfunction.
LEDs
In the following situations, a message appears
on the Control Display or an acoustic signal
sounds in addition to the LED lighting up:
▷ While the hardtop is being operated, the
green LED lights up. It goes out as soon as
the top is fully opened or closed.
▷ If the red LED flashes when you release the
switch, the opening or closing action has not
yet finished.
▷ If the red LED lights up when the switch is
pressed, the cargo area partition is folded
up, the trunk lid is not closed, the vehicle is
standing on a strong incline or there is a mal‐
function. The retractable hardtop cannot be
moved.
Interruption
The automatic sequence of movements is in‐
terrupted if the switch for hardtop operation is
released. The sequence can be continued in the
desired direction by pushing or pulling the
switch.
Always open or close the hardtop fully.
Open or close the hardtop fully; otherwise,
there is a risk of injury or damage when driving.
Do not interrupt and resume the closing proce‐
dure several times in close succession as this
could damage the mechanism.◀
If the hardtop is not fully opened or closed, the
trunk lid cannot be opened and the windows
cannot be moved.
Convenience operation with remote
control or via door lock
Information on convenience operation, refer to
page 30, and on operation using the door lock,
refer to page 32 .
Wind deflector*
The wind deflector keeps air movements in the
passenger compartment to a minimum when
the hardtop is open and provides an even more
comfortable ride, particularly at high speeds.
Installation
1. Insert the wind deflector 1 into the holders 2
on the rollover bars; the arrow should point
in the direction of travel.
