BMW 2008 135i Convertible Manual Do Proprietário

The following tips will enhance your driving
pleasure in your convertible:

It is advisable that you close the convertible
top when you park the vehicle. Not only
does the closed top protect the vehicle inte-
rior against unanticipated weather damage,
it also offers a certain amount of theft pro-
tection. However, even when the top is
closed, valuables should only be stored in
the locked cargo bay.

Do not attach roof-mounted luggage sys-
tems to the convertible top.

When opening a wet top, e.g. after driving in
the rain, water may drip into the cargo bay. If
necessary, remove items from the cargo
bay beforehand to avoid water stains or soil-
ing.

At temperatures below +14

7/–106, do

not move the convertible top or damage

may occur.
Do not keep the convertible top in the convert-
ible top box for longer than one day if it is wet,
otherwise the moisture may cause damage.
Do not place objects on the convertible top, as
otherwise they may fall off when you operate
the convertible top and cause damage or injury.
Never move the convertible top when the roll-
over protection system is in the activated posi-
tion.
Always fully complete a convertible top move-
ment. Driving with the convertible top incom-
pletely opened or closed can result in damage
or injury.
Do not reach into the mechanism during the
opening or closing procedure. Keep children
away from the opening/closing path of the con-
vertible top.
For safety reasons, only move the convertible
top when the vehicle is stationary, if possible.

The convertible top swings upward when
opening and closing. When operating the

convertible top in a garage, under a bridge, etc.,
ensure that there are at least 6 ft 7 in/2 m of
headroom, otherwise the vehicle may be dam-
aged.
