Convertible top
Convertible top
General information
The comprehensively engin eered design of the
f abric convertib le top a llows it to be operated
qu ickly and simply. When open, the convert i­
b le top is stowed completely in a tonneau pro­
vided spec ifically for this purpose.
I n normal operating conditions, the converti­
b le top is wind -and waterp roof. Under certa in
circumstances, a small quantity o f droplets
might form, but on ly in extremely inclement
weather, e.g . torrentia l or contin uous heavy
rain. This is normal and not a cause for con­
cern.
F ollow the care instructions
Q page 155 to
maintain the convertible top's attractive ap­
pearance and to keep it wind- and waterproof.
Please follow these instructions as well:
- Stow and open the convertib le top only
when it is clean. When the top is folded
away, sharp-edged contaminants can build
up as silt and cause wear spots o n the rear
window, which may damage the convertible
top over time. Of course, ice and snow should also be removed before open ing the
convertible top.
- Under no c ircumstances should you use
sharp-edged or abrasive objects to remove
ice and snow . Use a commerc ial ice scraper
to remove ice from o f the rear window.
- T he convert ible top should be opened only if
it is complete ly d ry. If the convertib le top is
opened and then stored wet, unattractive
indentations may develop . In addition, over
time, mold and mildew stains can develop.
- Do no t 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 disco lor where it folds, and to pre­
vent creases from forming. This is espec ially
important if it happens to be stowed wh ile
still damp on occasion.
- Because the fabric becomes less flexible
when temperatures drops below zero, we
Convertible top 41
recommend not operating the convertible
top below O°C.
A WARNING -
- When operat ing the convertible top,
make sure that any external factors (e.g.
the wind) do not impair its funct ion or
e ndanger other drivers.
- Never drive wh ile the convertib le top is
not properly secured. Otherwise , it may
be pulled open by the wind. This can
cause injur ies and damage to the vehicle
- danger of an accident!
- When opening and closing the converti-
ble top make sure to keep yourself and
o thers clear of a ll movi ng pa rts. Risk of
in jur y!
d) Note
-Always make su re that there is enough
clearance above the veh icle so that the
c onvertib le top is not damaged when
opening and clos ing.
- Do not place any objects in the tonneau
t o avoid damage when open ing the con­
ver tible top.
(D Tips
- Th e convert ible top should be operated
only wi th the ign ition sw itched on.
- When pa rking the ca r with the convert i­
ble top open, bear in mind t hat the vehi­
cle's in terior is not p rotec ted fro m dam­
age due to unexpec ted weather condi­
tions, o r unauthorized access . It is there ­
fore advisab le to close the convertib le
top before leaving the veh icle. If objects
are left inside the vehicle, they should be
locked in the luggage compartment.

Fig . 48 Covers open

-To reduce the risk of injury in the case of
sudden braking or accident, front pas­
sengers must never ride in a moving ve­
hicle with the seatback reclined. Safety
belts and the airbag system offer maxi­
mum protection only when the seatback
is upright and the safety be lts are prop­
erly positioned on the body. The more
the seatback is reclined, the greater the
risk of personal injury from an incorrect
seating position and improperly posi­
tioned safety be lts!
- Always make sure the front seatbacks are
in the upright position and securely
locked in place when dr iving.
Head restraints
Adjusting head restraints, front seats
The head restraints must be adjusted proper­
ly to provide protection .

The head restraints on the front seats can be
