Roadster: fully automatic

convertible top*

The fully automatic convertible top combines
assured protection against the elements with
simple and easy handling.
Here are a few tips so that you get the most out
of your BMW:

It is advisable to close the convertible top
when the vehicle is parked. When closed,
the top not only guards the passenger com-
partment from unforeseeable damage from
the weather, but also affords a degree of
protection against theft. Valuables, how-
ever, should only be kept in the locked
cargo bay, even when the convertible top is
closed.

Never mount a roof-mounted luggage rack
system on the convertible top.

Do not operate the convertible top at tem-
peratures below 14

7/–106, otherwise

damage could result.
Never keep a wet convertible top in the convert-
ible top compartment for longer than one day,
otherwise the moisture could cause damage.
Do not lay objects on the convertible top, other-
wise they could fall off when the convertible top
is operated and cause damage or injuries.
Driving while the convertible top is not com-
pletely open or closed can cause vehicle dam-
age or personal injury.
Do not reach into the convertible top mecha-
nism during opening and closing. Keep children
away from the convertible top's range of move-
ment.
For safety reasons, whenever possible operate
the convertible top when the vehicle is station-
ary.

If a convertible top operation has not yet
been completed as you start to drive off,

at a traffic light for example, you can continue
the procedure at moderate speed:
To do so, press and hold the corresponding

button again.
At higher speeds, a vacuum effect in the pas-
senger compartment can cause the convertible
top to begin fluttering. Use the air conditioning
or automatic climate control to increase the air
flow rate and thus prevent a partial vacuum in
the vehicle.

Before opening and closing

Read and comply with the preceding safety
precautions.

Make sure that the convertible top com-
partment panel in the cargo bay has been
folded down; refer to page

. Otherwise

the convertible top cannot be opened.

Ensure that the luggage compartment lid/
tailgate is closed.

Opening and closing

With the key in ignition position 1 or higher,
refer to page

, and while the vehicle is sta-

tionary:

If at all possible, operate the convertible
top only with the engine running. This

saves unnecessary battery wear.
Before closing the convertible top, remove any
objects from the windshield frame that other-
wise could prevent the convertible top from
closing properly.
