The automatic convertible top
Weather protection
The fabric convertible top combines re-
liable protection from the elements with
simple, convenient operation. Here are
a few tips to ensure that you enjoy your
roadster.
It is advisable to close the convertible
top when the vehicle is parked. The
closed convertible top not only protects
the passenger compartment from un-
foreseeable damage from the weather,
it also provides a certain degree of theft
protection. Even if the convertible top is
closed, store your valuables only in the
locked luggage compartment.
To prevent damage, do not operate the
convertible top at temperatures at the
freezing point.
Operate the convertible top only
when the vehicle is stationary,
otherwise the procedure will be inter-
rupted. Driving before the opening or
closing procedure has been properly
concluded can lead to either damage
or injury.
Make sure that no objects or people get
in the way while the convertible top is
opening or closing, so that no damage
or injuries occur.
The automatic operating procedure is
interrupted immediately if the button for
actuating the top is released. The pro-
cedure can be continued in the desired
direction by pressing this button.

being stored in the convertible top com-
partment and the indicator lamp on the
instrument cluster has gone out (refer to

While the convertible top is in motion,
the indicator lamp will stay on. If the
opening procedure is not complete, the
indicator lamp will flash after you re-
lease the button.
