Opening/closing in an emergency

Raising retractable hardtop manually

If the retractable hardtop cannot be closed
automatically, make certain that all points
listed under the "Retractable hardtop" sec-
tion ( page 129) were observed.
If the automatic operation still does not
function properly, you can close the re-
tractable hardtop manually.
This procedure should be performed with
great care by two persons.
!
Manually closing the retractable hard-
top is a complicated and technically de-
manding procedure. Close the
retractable hardtop manually in emer-
gency cases only. Otherwise, visit an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Warning!
It is important that a second person
helps you. Otherwise, you could become
trapped or injured.
Remove any wristwatches or jewelry
such as rings or bracelets. Otherwise,
they could get caught in the vehicle
mechanism, causing personal injury to
yourself or damage to the vehicle.
Always use the grips provided. Other-
wise you could injure yourself.
Open doors or lower windows
( page 127).
Set parking brake ( page 47).
Remove key from steering lock
( page 29).
Open trunk lid ( page 77).
Open the right side trim panel in the
trunk.
