Convertible: retractable<br />
hardtop<br />
The retractable hardtop combines reliable<br />
weather protection with simple and convenient<br />
operation.<br />
The following tips will enhance your driving<br />
pleasure in your Convertible:<br />
> It is advisable that you close the retractable<br />
hardtop when you park the vehicle. Not only<br />
does the closed hardtop protect the vehicle<br />
interior against unanticipated weather damage,<br />
it also offers theft protection. However,<br />
even when the hardtop is closed, valuables<br />
should only be stored in the locked cargo<br />
area.<br />
> Do not attach roof rack systems to the<br />
retractable hardtop, and in particular do not<br />
attach magnetic racks.<br />
> Do not attach rack systems to the trunk lid,<br />
and in particular do not attach magnetic<br />
racks.<br />
> When the retractable hardtop is operated,<br />
the trunk lid swings back and up. Before<br />
operating the retractable hardtop, ensure<br />
that there is enough clearance, e.g. when<br />
parked in front of a wall.<br />
> If you open the hardtop while it is wet, e.g.<br />
after driving in the rain, water may drip into<br />
the cargo area. If necessary, remove items<br />
from the cargo area beforehand to avoid<br />
water stains or soiling.<br />
Do not place any objects on the retractable<br />
hardtop or on the trunk lid; otherwise,<br />
they could fall during movements of the<br />
retractable hardtop and cause damage or injury.<br />
Never move the retractable hardtop when the<br />
rollover protection system is in the activated<br />
position.<br />
Driving when the hardtop is not fully opened or<br />
closed may result in damage or injury.<br />
Do not reach into the mechanism during the<br />
opening or closing procedure. Keep children<br />
away from the swiveling area of the retractable<br />
hardtop.<<br />
The retractable hardtop cannot be moved<br />
at temperatures below +147/–106.<<br />
The retractable hardtop can only be<br />
opened and closed when the vehicle is<br />
stationary. To avoid causing damage, do<br />
not drive off until the hardtop has stopped<br />
moving.<<br />
Before opening and closing<br />
> Comply with the safety precautions<br />
described above.<br />
> Ensure that the cargo area partition is<br />
folded down and engaged on both sides,<br />
refer to page 111; otherwise, it will not be<br />
possible to open the retractable hardtop.<br />
> Do not place any objects next to or on the<br />
cargo area partition and close the storage<br />
compartment on the left side of the cargo<br />
area.<br />
> Do not exceed the maximum loading height<br />
under the cargo area partition; refer to the<br />
label in the cargo area showing a line indicating<br />
the maximum height.<br />
> Ensure that the trunk lid is closed.<br />
> The vehicle should be parked on fairly level<br />
ground. Excessive angle is indicated by<br />
alamp.<br />
