Retractable hardtopGeneral information
Adhere to the following instructions:▷It is advisable that you close the retractable
hardtop when you park the vehicle. Not
only does the closed hardtop protect the
vehicle interior against unanticipated
weather damage, it also offers theft protec‐
tion. However, even when the hardtop is
closed, valuables should only be stored in
the locked cargo area.▷Do not attach roof rack systems to the re‐
tractable hardtop, and in particular do not
attach magnetic racks.▷Do not attach rack systems to the trunk lid,
and in particular do not attach magnetic
racks.▷When the retractable hardtop is operated,
the trunk lid swings back and up.
Before operating the retractable hardtop,
ensure that there is enough clearance, e.g.,
in tight parking spaces.▷If you open the hardtop while it is wet, e.g.,
after driving in the rain, water may drip into
the cargo area.
If necessary, remove items from the cargo
area beforehand to avoid water stains or
soiling.▷Opening and closing while the vehicle is
moving can cause air turbulence in the
cargo area.

area.▷At temperatures below 14 ℉/-10 ℃, the
retractable hardtop cannot be moved.
