easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the exhaust system could ignite the surface.
■ Always apply the parking brake.
Activate the manual parking
brake without pressing the
release button. Apply as firmly
as possible on a downhill slope
or uphill slope. Depress foot
brake at the same time to

first gear or set the selector lever
to position P before removing
the ignition key. On an uphill
slope, turn the front wheels
away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
set the selector lever to position P before removing the ignition
key. Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.

Safety stopThe button on the remote control or
the switch in the centre console must
be actuated until the soft top is in its
respective end position. Releasing
the button or the switch during
operation stops soft top movement
immediately. The soft top remains in
intermediate position only for a
certain time. After this time a warning
chime sounds, the hydraulic pressure
in the system decreases and the soft top can start to move by itself.
Actuating button or switch once more continues operation.
Requirements for operation ■ Vehicle is stationary or driving with a speed up to 50 km/h.
■ Load compartment partition isfolded out, pass-through flap is
closed 3 73.
■ Soft top lid is engaged in closed position.
■ Boot lid is completely closed.
■ Outside temperature is not lower than -7 °C for opening and -10 °C
