sounds in addition to the LED lighting up.
> While the hardtop is being operated, the left
LED lights up green. It goes out as soon as
the top is fully opened or closed.
> If the right-hand LED flashes red when you
release the switch, the opening or closing
action has not yet finished.
> If the right LED lights up red when the
switch is pressed, the cargo bay partition is
folded up, the luggage compartment lid is
not closed, the vehicle is standing on a
strong incline or there is a malfunction. The
retractable hardtop cannot be moved.
Interruption
The automatic sequence of movements is
interrupted if the switch for hardtop operation is

dure several times in close succession as this

Wind deflector*

passenger compartment to a minimum when
the hardtop is open and provides an even more
comfortable ride, particularly at high speeds.
