automatically, make certain that all points
listed under the “Retractable hardtop” sec-
tion (

tractable hardtop manually.

top is a complicated and technically de-
manding procedure. Close the
retractable hardtop manually in emer-
gency cases only. Otherwise, visit an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
