The antitheft alarm is automatically armed or disarmed
with the remote control or any of your vehicle’s keys by
locking or unlocking the vehicle.
The antitheft alarm is armed within approximately
10 seconds after locking the vehicle.
A blinking lamp (1) indicates that the alarm is armed.
Operation:
Once the alarm system has been armed, the exterior
vehicle lamps will flash and an alarm will sound when
someone:
•opens a door,
•opens the trunk,
•opens the hood,
•opens the glove box,
•attempts to raise the vehicle.The alarm will last approximately 3 minutes in form of
flashing exterior lamps. At the same time an alarm will
sound for 30 seconds. The alarm will stay on even if the
activating element (a door, for example) is immediately
closed. If the alarm stays on for more than 20 seconds,
an emergency call is initiated automatically. See Tele
Aid on page 132.
Note:
We recommend that you carry the flat key with you and
keep it in a safe place (e.g. your wallet) so that it is
always handy. Never leave the flat key in the vehicle.
When you unlock the driver’s door with the mechanical
key, the exterior lamps will flash and the alarm will
sound.
To cancel the alarm, insert the key in the steering lock
or press transmit buttonŒ or‹ on the key.

Retractable hardtop
Important!
A minimum clearance height of 5
1/2 ft. (1.65 m) and an
additional 10 in (25 cm) length behind the vehicle is
required to lower or raise the hardtop.
The additional space is required since the roof moves up
and the trunk lid back during raising and lowering
operations.
The raising or lowering operations can only be started
with the luggage cover and trunk lid closed.
The raising or lowering procedure is immediately
interrupted by releasing the hardtop switch.
Do not operate the roof while a roof luggage carrier is
installed.To prevent damage to hardtop or luggage / cargo when
lowering the roof:
•load trunk only to the height of the luggage cover,
•do not permit luggage / cargo to raise the closed
luggage cover,
•do not load anything on top of the luggage cover,
•do not place anything on shelf behind roll bars.
Note:
To prevent the hardtop from being lowered
unintentionally while a roof luggage carrier is installed,
keep luggage cover in trunk in the open position.
Wa r n i n g !
Before operating the switch for the retractable
hardtop make sure that no persons due to
inattention are injured by the moving parts
(retractable roof, roof frame, and trunk lid).Hands must never be placed near the roof frame,
upper windshield area, hardtop, shelf behind roll
bars, or trunk lid while the retractable hardtop is
being raised or lowered. Serious personal injury
may occur.

3. Slide hardtop switch back (1) and hold:
•The indicator lamp in the hardtop switch lights
up.
Note:
If indicator lamp blinks slowly, a malfunction
has occurred in the system.
If indicator lamp blinks rapidly, the trunk lid
and / or the luggage cover may be open, and need
to be closed.
•The door windows lower.
•The trunk lid opens rearward.
•The hardtop lowers into its storage
compartment, simultaneously the shelf behind
roll bars opens, and rear quarter windows lower.
•The shelf behind the roll bars closes.
•The trunk lid closes.
•The indicator lamp in the hardtop switch goes
out – the opening procedure is completed.If the hardtop switch is held or is released and slid back
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.
The rear quarter windows cannot be raised with the
hardtop lowered.
Notes:
For safety reasons, the hardtop cannot be lowered while
driving.
Lowering a wet hardtop can result in water reaching the
vehicle interior. The hardtop should be dry when
lowering it into the storage compartment.
Wa r n i n g !
To prevent possible accidents, drive the vehicle
only with the hardtop either completely closed and
locked, or fully lowered into its storage
compartment.
