passenger compartment. To prevent 
injuries, make sure that the closing path 
of the convertible top is unobstructed.

After having been stored for an 
extended period of time in the 

convertible top compartment, e.g. dur-
ing the winter months because the 
hardtop was being used, you may have 
to support the convertible top by hand 
when closing it for the first time.
If the convertible top should halt right 
before the closing phase is completed, 
press against the front part of the con-
vertible top frame from the outside to

the convertible top is in motion. It 
goes out as soon as the opening or 
closing operation has been com-

the button is released, the convertible 
top has not yet been opened or 
closed completely. You can resume 
operation in the desired direction by 
pressing the button again

continuously with the button pressed, 
the convertible top compartment 
panel has been raised and the top 
cannot be moved.

The side windows move down slightly 
whenever the button for operating the 
convertible top is pressed.

They will go back up if you keep holding 
the button down for more than 
2 seconds after the opening or closing 
process has been completed and the 
indicator lamp has gone out.

The convertible top stops moving 
immediately when the button is 
released. You can resume operation in 
the desired direction by pressing the 
button again.

Do not close the side windows 
using the power window switches 

if the convertible top has not been 
closed completely. Otherwise, the side 
windows may not seal properly with the 
rubber seals of the convertible top.

If the opening or closing operation is 
interrupted by releasing the buttons, 
the convertible top remains in the 
respective position for 15 minutes 
before it slowly moves into a stable 
position. The operation can be contin-
ued by pressing the buttons.
