WARNING Risk of accident due to
excessive speed during the soft-top
opening or closing procedure
If the vehicle speed exceeds 60 km/h, the
soft top stops during the opening or closing
procedure.
This impairs your view to the rear.
#
Reduce the vehicle speed to below
60 km/h or stop the vehicle, paying
attention to road and traffic conditions.
#
Operate the soft-top switch again in
order to open or close the soft top fully.
The current procedure is stopped at a speed
above 60 km/h. The Open/close top completely
message will be shown on the multifunction dis‐
play.
#
Reduce your speed and press or pull the soft-
top switch 1 again.
If the soft top does not close fully because of
strong headwinds, drive more slowly or stop.
Relocking the soft top
& WARNING Risk of becoming trapped
due to the soft top lowering unexpect‐
edly
If you do not fully open/close the soft top,
the soft-top hydraulics depressurise after a
short time.
This causes the soft top to lower unexpect‐
edly and may cause you or others to be trap‐
ped.
#
Always fully open or close the soft top.
If the soft top has not been completely locked,
the multifunction display shows the Open/close
top completely message. In addition, you will
hear a warning tone for up to ten seconds while
driving.
#
Pull over and stop the vehicle safely as soon
as possible, paying attention to road and traf‐
fic conditions.
#
Make sure that the ignition is switched on.
#
Fully close the soft top using the soft-top
switch.
Fitting and removing the draught stop
& WARNING Risk of accident and injury
due to an incorrectly fitted draught stop
If the draught stop is not correctly fitted it
can come loose during the journey and
endanger other road users.
#
Fit the draught stop as described.
#
Do not place objects on the fitted
draught stop.
* NOTE The draught stop can be damaged
if fitted when the soft top is closed
The vehicle interior or the draught stop can
be damaged if fitted when the soft top
closed.
#
To fit, open the soft top.
Fitting
The folding draught stop is fitted between the
roll bars to protect against wind when you are
driving with the soft top open.
