Soft top emergency operation

If the soft top cannot be automatically
closed, check the following:

ț

Is the luggage cover engaged in place
(

page 260)?

ț

Have the roll bars been released? If so,
lower the roll bars manually
(

page 414).

ț

Is the trunk lid closed (

page 110)?

ț

Is there sufficient on-board voltage?
Start the engine if necessary.

These messages will also appear in the
multifunction display (

page 402).

If automatic operation still does not func-
tion properly, you can close the soft top
manually.

This procedure should be performed with
great care by two persons.

Engage parking brake.

Lower the side windows.

Manually closing the soft top is a complicat-

ed and technically demanding procedure. Close
the soft top manually in emergency cases only.
Otherwise, visit an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. Please read the instructions fully before
beginning operation and only undertake it with
another person and if you feel fully capable of
performing the tasks involved.
