Roll-over bars (Cabriolet)
G
Risk of injury
Make sure that the range of movement of
the roll-over bars is not obstructed, other-
wise persons could be injured when the roll-
over bars are extended.
For this reason, always pull the rear seat
head restraints out to the stop if passengers
are travelling in the rear.
The roll-over bars are deployed automati-
cally if it is detected that there is a risk of
the vehicle overturning.
The roll-over bars are located below the
rear head restraints. You may retract the
extended roll-over bars manually when the
soft top is open ( page 344).
i
You cannot lower the rear head restraints if
the roll-over bars are deployed.
If the roll-over bars deploy automatically, you will
hear a rattling noise and the rear head restraints
may also be extended.

G
Risk of injury
If the \ warning lamp in the rev counter
remains lit for a long time after the engine
has been started, there is a fault.
The roll-over bars will then fail to deploy
automatically in the event of an accident
even if the system detects that there is a
danger of the vehicle overturning. This could
result in serious or fatal injury to yourself or
other vehicle occupants. For safety reasons,
therefore, always drive with the roll-over
bars extended manually until the malfunc-
tion has been rectified.
Have your vehicle checked at a qualified
specialist workshop which has the neces-
sary specialist knowledge and tools to carry
out the work required. Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre for this purpose. In particu-
lar, work relevant to safety or on safety-
related systems must be carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Children in the vehicle
If a child is travelling in the vehicle:
secure the child using a child restraint
system which is appropriate to its age
and size and which has been approved
for Mercedes-Benz, preferably on a
suitable rear seat
make sure that the child is secured
throughout the trip
You can obtain child seats and information
about the correct child restraint system
from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
