CONVERTIBLE TOP WITH INTEGRATED SLIDING SUNROOF
Interruption
The automatic movement is immediately
interrupted when the buttons for convert-
ible top operation are released. The proce-
dure can be continued in the desired direc-
tion by pressing the appropriate buttons.
If the opening or closing procedure is inter-
rupted by releasing the respective button,
the convertible top stays in its current posi-
tion for several seconds before it slowly
moves into a more stable position. The pro-
cedure can be continued by pressing the
appropriate button.
Movement is also interrupted when there
is a mechanical blockage. In this case, in
order to operate the convertible top again:
1. Turn off the ignition and then switch it
on again
2. Press the button to continue the proce-
dure in the desired direction.
Opening and closing procedure
Do not interrupt and restart the clos-
ing procedure several times one after
another, or the convertible top mechanism
could be damaged.
<
If the convertible top can be moved in
only one direction after several con-
secutive attempts to operate it, the con-
vertible top system has overheated. Allow
the system to cool down for approx.
20 minutes.
<
If the battery is disconnected, e.g. for
changing batteries or vehicle storage,
reinitialize the power windows, refer to
page
32 . Otherwise the windows will not
be lowered when the convertible top is
opened.
<
Convenience operation
For convenience operation using the
remote control refer to page
26 , for opera-
tion via the door lock refer to page 27 .
Manual closing in the event of an
electrical malfunction
Only close the convertible top manu-
ally if it is absolutely necessary. Never
open it manually. Improper handling of the
convertible top can result in damage. The
closing procedure must be completely fin-
ished. Otherwise, damage or injury could
result.
