The soft top cannot be opened using
the soft top switch when the roll bars
have been released. The roll bars need
to be lowered before the soft top can
be operated again using the soft top
switch. If the roll bars have released
and the soft top is closed, contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center to
have the roll bars lowered. Do not at-
tempt to lower the roll bars manually
with the soft top closed. Lowering the
roll bars manually with the soft top
closed may impair the function of the
roll bars (
page 401).
If the roll bars have released and the
soft top is open, you can lower the roll
bars manually (
page 402) or contact
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
to have the roll bars lowered.
