Hardtop
Sliding Roof (380 SLC)
>
The roadster top may become mol­
dy if it is kept enclosed in the
storage compartm ent for an exten­
ded period. We recommend you to
have the roadster top removed in a
MERCEDES-BENZ service station if
you intend to drive only with the
hardtop for a lengthy period.
Should the roadster top, however,
be kept in the car, unfold and air it
thoroughly (do not expose to the
sun) at regular intervals during the
wet and cold seasons.
A special container for the storage
of roadster tops or hardtops is
available from your MERCEDES-
BENZ service station.
Turn key in steering lock to
position ”2 ”.
Toggle switch (1) next to glove
compartment.
Push at the right (symbol)
= Opening
Push at the left = Closing
If the electric drive fails, the sliding
roof can also be moved by hand.
Refer to “ Sliding Roof-Emergency
O peration”.
