Problems with the side windows

G

WARNING

If you close a side window again immediately after it has been blocked or reset, the side window

closes with increased or maximum force. The reversing feature is then not active. Parts of the

body could be trapped in the closing area in the process. This poses an increased risk of injury

or even fatal injury.
Make sure that no parts of the body are in the closing area. To stop the closing process, release

the switch or push the switch again to reopen the side window.

WARNING

If you do not lock the closed soft top, it may

open during a journey. This could cause you

to lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk

of an accident.
Only drive with the soft top fully open or

locked closed.

WARNING

If you do not fully open/close the soft top, 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 completely.

You can open or close the soft top:

R

if the vehicle is stationary or

R

if the speed does not exceed 30 mph

(50 km/h)

If there is a strong head wind, it may not be

possible to close the soft top fully. In order to

close the soft top fully, reduce speed or stop.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz

recommends that you only open or close the

soft top when the vehicle is stationary.
