Warning

When operating the convertible top while driv‐

ing, the view to the rear may be limited. At

speeds above 30 mph/50 km/h the convertible

top stops in its current position. There is a dan‐

ger of accidents and property damage. When

operating the convertible top while driving, ob‐

serve traffic attentively and, if necessary, re‐

duce speed. Do not operate while backing up

or in windy weather.

Follow the following information:

▷ Close the convertible top when the vehicle is

parked. A closed convertible top protects it

from weather-related damage and to some

extent from theft.

▷ Even when the convertible top is closed, only

store valuables in the locked cargo area.

▷ At higher speeds, negative pressure pro‐

duced in the car's interior causes the

convertible top to begin to flutter. Increase

the air flow via the ventilation to prevent neg‐

ative pressure in the vehicle.

Warning

The convertible top is not suitable for the

mounting of roof carrier systems. The roof car‐

rier could come loose. There is a risk of acci‐

dent. Do not attach any roof carrier systems to

the convertible top.

▷ It is not possible to start the engine and oper‐

ate the convertible top simultaneously. When

the engine is started using the Start/Stop

button or using the Auto Start/Stop function,

the convertible top movement is briefly inter‐

rupted.

Warning

A convertible top that is not completely open or

closed is not locked and can open by itself

while driving due to the airstream. There is a

risk of injury or risk of damage to property.

Make sure that the convertible top is always

completely open or closed.

▷ Opening a door interrupts closure of the

convertible top.

▷ In order to protect the battery, move the

convertible top only when the engine is run‐
