Power windows
General information
Take the remote control with you
Take the remote control with you when
leaving the vehicle so that children, for example,
cannot operate the power windows and injure

wise, the closing action may not stop in certain
situations, e.g., if thin objects are present.
◀
Window accessories
Do not install any accessories in the range
of movement of the windows; otherwise, the
pinch protection system will be impaired.◀
Closing without the pinch protection
system
Danger of pinching
Monitor the closing process and make
sure that the closing path of the window is clear;
otherwise, injuries may result.◀
For example, if there is an external danger or if
ice on the windows prevents a window from
closing normally, proceed as follows:
1. Pull the switch past the resistance point and
hold it there.
Pinch protection is limited and the window
reopens

slightly if the closing force exceeds
a certain value.
2. Pull the switch past the resistance point
again within approx. 4 seconds and hold it
there.
The window closes without pinch protec‐
tion.
Convertible top
General information
The convertible top can be opened or closed at
speeds up to approx. 25 mph/40 km/h.
If the vehicle is accelerated above a speed of
approx. 30 mph/50 km/h while the convertible
top is being moved, the convertible top move‐
ment stops.
Tips about the convertible top:
▷ If possible, close the convertible top when
the vehicle is parked. A closed convertible
top protects it from weather-related dam‐
age and to some extent from theft. ▷
Event when the convertible top is closed,
only

store valuables in the locked cargo area.
▷ At higher speeds, vacuum produced in the
passenger compartment cause the conver‐
tible top to begin to flatten. Increase the
amount

of air via the automatic climate con‐
trol so that no vacuum is produced in the ve‐
hicle.
Notes
The
trunk lid cannot be opened if the convertible
top is not fully opened or closed.

▷ Do not place any objects on the convertible
top, otherwise, they could fall and cause
damage or injuries.
