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.
Opening and closing the boot separator
The boot separator covers luggage or loads in
the boot.
Depending on the equipment, the vehicle may be
equipped with a manual or automatic boot sepa‐
rator.
The soft top can be opened only when the man‐
ual boot separator is closed.
In vehicles with an automatic boot separator,
this automatically closes when the soft top is
opened.
* NOTE Damage to the soft top or load
due to long objects
The soft top or load may be damaged with
the soft top open.
#
Do not place any overly long objects
inside or behind the side luggage nets
when the boot separator is open.
#
Make sure that the load does not push
the boot separator upwards.
