CX) Soft
top (folding roof)
Soft top
General notes
The soft top opens and closes automatically.
When the top opens, it folds away completely in
to the storage box. The soft top can be opened or
closed at a speed of up to SO km/h.
In normal conditions the soft top is windproof
and waterproof. In extremely bad weather (such
as torrential or continuous rain), a few droplets
of water may possibly form inside the car. This is
quite normal, and no cause for concern.
To preserve the appearance of the soft top and
keep it waterproof, please follow the instructions
for cleaning and care ¢page 263, Care of vehi
cle and cleaning. You should also note the fol
lowing points:
- Open and stow the soft top only when it is
clean and dry. Pressure creases can form if the
soft top is stowed when damp, and mildew or
other damage can occur if left for long periods.
To avoid scratching or damaging the soft top,
do not use sharp objects to remove ice and
snow. A normal ice scraper can be used to clear
the rear window.
- Do not leave the soft top open for weeks at a
time to prevent any discolouration in the folds
of the fabric.
- Do not open the soft top at temperatures be
low O 0
C. The fabric loses its elasticity at sub
zero temperatures.

Opening and closing the soft top (one-touch
function)
� Switch on the ignition.
� Briefly pull/push the soft top switch to open/
close the soft top completely. It is not necessa
ry to hold the switch. The one-touch function is
available at speeds of between 6 km/h and
SO km/h.
The status of the soft top is shown in the instru
ment cluster when the soft top switch is operat
ed.
If the soft top does not open/close when you op
erate the switch, a message will appear
¢page 40.
A WARNING
- When operating the soft top make sure that
external factors, e.g. wind, do not affect the
function of the soft top and do not incon
venience or endanger other road users.
- Never drive with the soft top not correctly
locked in place. There is a danger that the
fabric could be caught by the airstream and
blown open. This could cause an accident,
possibly resulting in personal injury or dam
age to the car.
- When opening and closing the soft top,
make sure there is no risk of injury from the
moving parts of the frame, etc.
- Since the rearward view is obstructed while
the soft top is opening or closing, you
should avoid operating the soft top when re
versing.
CD CAUTION
- To prevent damage to the soft top:
- Do not put any items in the soft top stor-
age box.
- Always ensure that there is sufficient
clearance above the soft top when open
ing or closing it .

when the Light switch is set to AUTO.
Static cornering light (turning light)* (on
vehicles with LED headlights) -the turning Light
is automatically activated when the steering
wheel angle exceeds a specified value (up to
about 70 km/h) or when the turn signals are
switched on (up to about 40 km/h). This feature
provides better illumination at the side of the ve
hicle when you turn off at a junction.

lights) -this function adjusts the vehicle Lighting
on motorways, according to your speed.
Speed-dependent light distribution* (on

If you drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left
hand drive country, or vice versa, it is not neces
sary to adjust the headlights, as they are de
signed for use when driving on the left or right.
A WARNING
- The automatic headlights* are only intended
to assist the driver. The driver must always
ensure that the headlights are used when
required, and may have to switch them on
manually when the Light conditions or visi
bility are poor. For example, the light sen
sors are not able to detect fog. Therefore,
you should always switch on the dipped
headlights io in these conditions and when
driving after dark.
- To avoid dazzling the traffic behind you, the
rear fog light should only be used in accord-
ance with statutory regulations.

headlights, turn signals or rear lights can
sometimes mist up, due to the temperature
difference between the interior and exterior
of the car. They should clear again partially
or completely soon after you switch on the
headlights. This phenomenon has no influ
ence on the life expectancy of the vehicle

Switching on the windscreen wipers
Fig. 48 Windscreen wiper lever
Move the windscreen wiper lever to the appropri
ate position:
@- Wipers off
CD- Intermittent wipe. Move switch @ to the left
or to the right to increase or reduce the wiper de
lay interval. If your vehicle is equipped with the
rain sensor*, the windscreen wipers will be acti
vated automatically in the rain as long as the ve
hicle has been moving faster than approx. 4 km/
ha t least once. The higher the sensitivity level for
the rain sensor* is (i.e. the further to the right
the position of switch @ is), the sooner the wind
screen wipers react to moisture on the wind
screen. You can deactivate the rain sensor mode*
on the infotainment system (this will activate the
intermittent wipe mode). Select the following on
the infotainment system: !MENU! button> Car >
left control button > Driver assist> Rain sensor >
off.
@- Slow wipe
@ -Fast wipe
@ -Single wipe. If you hold the lever in this posi
tion, the wipers will switch from slow continuous
wiping to fast continuous wiping after a while.
® -Wash/wipe. The screen is given an extra wipe
a few seconds later to remove any dribbles of wa
ter (if the vehicle is moving and the temperature
is above approx. 4 °C). You can deactivate this
function by moving the lever to position @again
within 10 seconds after the extra wipe. The ex-
so tra-wipe

A WARNING
- The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver is still obliged to man
ually operate the windscreen wipers as re
quired depending on visibility.
- Do not use water-repellent coatings on the
windscreen. In bad visibility conditions such
as light rain, low sun or when driving at
night these coatings can cause increased
dazzle, which is a serious safety hazard.
Such coatings can also cause the wiper
blades to judder.
- Poor visibility can cause accidents. Always
ensure that the wiper blades are in good
condition ¢ page 51, Changing the wind
screen wiper blades.
CD CAUTION
- In icy conditions, check that the wiper
blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If
the wiper blades are frozen to the wind
screen when you switch on the windscreen
wipers, this could damage the wiper blades.
- Make sure you switch off the windscreen
wiper system (lever in position 0) before you
use an automatic car wash. This will avoid
inadvertent triggering of the wipers and
possible damage to the wiper system.
i Note
- The windscreen wipers are deactivated
when the ignition is switched off. You can
activate the windscreen wipers after switch
ing the ignition on again by moving the
windscreen wiper lever to any position.
- Worn or dirty wiper blades can cause smear
ing on the glass. This can also impair the ef
fectiveness of the rain sensor*. Please check
the wiper blades regularly. ______ �
