Soft top emergency operation
If the soft top cannot be automatically
closed, check the following:
ț Is the luggage cover engaged in place
(
page 262)?
ț Have the roll bars been released? If so,
lower the roll bars manually
(
page 424).
ț Is the trunk lid closed ( page 110)?
ț Is there sufficient on-board voltage?
Start the engine if necessary.
These messages will also appear in the
multifunction display (
page 410).
If automatic operation still does not func-
tion properly, you can close the soft top
manually.
This procedure should be performed with
great care by two persons.
!
Manually closing the soft top is a com-
plicated and technically demanding
procedure. Close the soft top manually
in emergency cases only. Otherwise,
visit an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. Please read the instructions
fully before beginning operation and
only undertake it with another person
and if you feel fully capable of perform-
ing the tasks involved.
Warning! G
ț It is important that a second person
helps you. Otherwise, you could become
trapped or injured.
ț Remove any wristwatches or jewelry
such as rings or bracelets. Otherwise,
they could get caught in the vehicle
mechanism, causing personal injury to
yourself or damage to the vehicle.
ț Always use the grips provided as indi-
cated. Otherwise you could injure your-
self.
