46 Convertible top
Convertible top
Convertible top
General information
The comprehensively engineered design of the
fabric convertible top allows it to be operated
quickly and simply. When open, the converti­ ble top is stowed completely in a tonneau pro­
vided specifically for this purpose.
In normal operating conditions, the converti­
ble top is wind- and waterproof. Under certain
circumstances, a small quantity of droplets
might form, but only in extremely inclement
weather, e.g. torrential or continuous heavy
rain. This is normal and not a cause for con­
cern.
Follow the care instructions
~ page 164,
Convertible top care
to maintain the converti­
ble top's attractive appearance and to keep it
wind- and waterproof. Please follow these in­
structions as well:
- Stow and open the convertible top only
when it is clean. When the top is folded
away, sharp-edged contaminants can build
up as silt and cause wear spots on the rear
window, which may damage the convertible
top over time. Of course, ice and snow
should also be removed before opening the
convertible top .
- Under no circumstances should you use
sharp-edged or abrasive objects to remove
ice and snow. Use a commercial ice scraper
to remove ice from of the rear window.
- The convertible top should be opened only if
it is completely d ry. If the convertible top is
opened and then stored wet, unattractive
indentations may develop. In addition, over
time, mold and mildew stains can develop.
- Do not leave the convertible top open for
several weeks at a time; instead, open and
close it from time to time so that the fabric
does not discolor where it folds, and to pre­
vent creases from forming. This is especially
important if it happens to be stowed while
still damp on occasion . -
Because the fabric becomes less flexible
when temperatures drops below zero, we
recommend not operating the convertible
top below O°C.
A WARNING
-
- When operating the convertible top,
make sure that any external factors (e .g.
the wind) do not impair its function or
endanger other drivers.
- Never drive while the convertible top is
not properly secured . Otherwise, it may
be pulled open by the wind. This can
cause injuries and damage to the vehicle
- danger of an accident!
- When opening and closing the converti-
ble top make sure to keep yourself and
others clear of all moving parts. Risk of
injury!
(D Note
- Always make sure that there is enough
clearance above the vehicle so that the
convertible top is not damaged when
opening and closing.
- Do not place any objects in the tonneau
to avoid damage when opening the con­
vertible top .
@ Tips
-The convertible top should be operated
only with the ignition switched on.
- When parking the car with the converti­
ble top open, bear in mind that the vehi­
cle's interior is not protected from dam­
age due to unexpected weather condi­
tions, or unauthorized access. It is there­
fore advisable to close the convertible
top before leaving the vehicle. If objects
are left inside the vehicle, they should be
locked in the luggage compartment.
