If the hardtop switch is held or is released and slid
forward again within approximately 30 seconds, the
door windows will close.
However, the door windows can also be closed/opened
later on. Slide hardtop switch twice forward/backward
and hold.
For safety reasons, the hardtop cannot be raised while
driving. However, if the hardtop is not completely locked
after raising it, you can then lock it while driving by
pushing the hardtop switch forward.
If the indicator lamp in the hardtop switch blinks slowly
while activating the switch,
the battery voltage may be insufficient – start
engine and let run while activating switch,
the system may be overloaded (for example after
lowering or raising the hardtop approximately
5 consecutive times) - after approximately
10 minutes the hardtop switch may be activated
again.
If the indicator lamp continues to blink, lock the hardtop
manually, see page 226.
Have the system checked at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as possible.
Warning!
The hardtop is not fully closed and locked:
if the indicator lamp in the hardtop switch
does not go out (key in steering lock
position 2),
if the indicator lamp blinks, and a warning
sounds for 10 seconds when starting to drive.
Stop the vehicle and before continuing to drive,
close and lock the hardtop:
The key should be in steering lock position 2.
Slide the hardtop switch forward.
To prevent possible accidents, drive the vehicle
only with the hardtop either completely closed and
locked, or fully lowered into its storage
compartment.
