Despite trap protection, always
make sure that the windows can

close without obstruction, otherwise in
some cases, e.g. with thin objects, it is
not guaranteed that the closing opera-
tion will be interrupted.
Trap protection is restricted when the
switch is pulled and held beyond the
pressure point.

After a power loss

After the battery has been discon-
nected, the trap protection must be
reinitialized. Perform the following pro-
cedure twice for each window:
> Open and close the window com-

pletely

> With the window closed, keep pulling

the switch upward for approx.
1 second.

Convertible top

The completely automatically operated
convertible top combines assured pro-
tection against the elements with sim-
ple and easy handling.

To gain maximum satisfaction from your
convertible, please observe the follow-
ing:
> It is advisable to close the convertible

top when the vehicle is being parked.
The closed convertible top not only
protects the passenger compartment
from unforeseeable damage from the
weather, it also provides a certain
degree of theft protection. In addi-
tion, keep valuables only in the
locked luggage compartment, even
when the convertible top is closed

> Never mount a roof-mounted luggage

rack system on the convertible top.

At temperatures below 14

–10

6 do not operate the convert-

ible top to prevent damage. Never store
the convertible top in its compartment
for more than one day while it is wet to
avoid permanent damage from mois-
ture.

Do not lay objects on the convert-
ible top, as they could fall off

when it moves, causing vehicle damage
or personal injury.
