Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If you do not fully open/close the soft top, the soft-top hydraulics depressurise after a short time. This causes the soft top to lower unex-
pectedly and may cause you or others to be
trapped. There is a risk of injury.
Always open or close the soft top completely.
! Never sit on the soft-top compartment
cover or stow heavy objects there. You will
otherwise damage the soft top and soft-top
compartment cover of the vehicle. !
When opening and closing the soft top,
make sure that:
R there is sufficient clearance above it as the
soft top swings upwards
R the boot separator is closed
R the boot is only loaded to below the boot
separator
R the boot separator is not pushed up by the
load
R the flap of the skibag is closed
R the boot lid is closed
R there are no objects on the soft-top com-
partment cover
R the soft-top fabric is not dirty, wet or frozen

before closing it. Otherwise, water or dirt could
enter the vehicle interior or boot.

40 km/h
If there is a strong headwind, it may not be pos-
sible to close the soft top fully. In this case,
reduce speed or stop in order to close the soft
top fully.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only open or close the soft top
when the vehicle is stationary.
