Roll bars (cabriolet)
G
Warning!
Make sure nothing is blocking the roll bars’
path of motion. Otherwise someone could
be injured when the roll bars are raised. The
rear seat head restraints should therefore
always be in the raised position when the
rear seat is occupied.
The roll bars are integrated into the rear seat
head restraints. To raise the rear seat head
restraints, see (Y page 89).
The roll bars raise automatically in an
accident or in a critical driving situation.
i
When the roll bars are raised
automatically, you will hear a ratcheting
sound and, if lowered, the rear seat head
restraints will also rise.
You cannot lower the rear seat head
restraints with the rear seat head restraint
lowering switch (Y page 89) when the roll
bars are in the raised position.
Also, you cannot operate the soft top using
the soft top switch when the roll bars are
in the raised position.
You can manually lower the roll bars again
when the soft top is open (Y page 322). With
the soft top closed, contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center to have the roll bars
lowered. Do not attempt 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.
G
Warning!
If the yellow roll bar warning lamp \ in
the clock does not go out after starting the
engine, or if it comes on while driving, then
the roll bar system is not operating properly
and may not activate in an accident. In this
case, raise the roll bars manually before
continuing to drive.
For safety reasons, drive only with the roll
bars raised until the malfunction is
repaired. Have your vehicle checked at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
