the soft-top hydraulics depressurize after a
short time. This causes the soft top to lower
unexpectedly and may cause you or others
to be trapped. There is a risk of injury.
Always open or close the soft top com-
pletely.

and technically demanding procedure, which
requires a lot of strength. You or others can
become trapped. There is a risk of injury.

Problems with the seat heating
ProblemPossible causes/consequences andPPSolutions
The seat heating hasswitched off prema-turely or cannot beswitched on. The vehi-cle's electrical systemvoltage is too lowbecause too many elec-trical consumers areswitched on.
Switch off electrical consumers that you do not need, such as therear window defroster or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, switch on the seat heatingagain.
AIRSCARF
Setting head level heating (AIRSCARF)
GWARNING
When AIRSCARF is switched on, very hot air
can flow from the vents in the head
restraints. This could result in burns in the
immediate vicinity of the air vents. There is a
risk of injury.
Reduce the heater output before it becomes
too hot.
The AIRSCARF function warms the head andneck area of vehicle occupants with warm air.The warm air flows out of the holes in the headrestraints.
The three red indicator lamps in the buttonindicate the heating level you have selected.
XEnsure that the SmartKey is in positionHin the ignition lock.
XTo switch on:press buttonC.Three red indicator lamps in the button lightup. The blower starts up after a preheatingphase of seven seconds.
XPress buttonCrepeatedly until the desiredheating level is set.
XTo switch off:press buttonCrepeatedlyuntil all the indicator lamps go out.
iThe blower continues running for sevenseconds to cool down the heating elements.
iIf the battery voltage is too low, AIRSCARFmay switch off.
Problems with AIRSCARF
AIRSCARF has switched off prematurely or willnot switch on. The vehicle's electrical systemvoltage is too low because too many electricalconsumers are switched on.
XSwitch off electrical consumers that you donot need, such as the rear window defrosteror interior lighting.

actual distance from the road users traveling
behind by glancing over your shoulder.
