Practical hints
Opening/closing in an emergency (Cabriolet)
Soft top emergency operation
If the soft top cannot be automatically
closed, check the following:
Is the luggage cover engaged in place
( page 264)?
Have the roll bars been released? If so,
lower the roll bars manually
( page 431).
Is the trunk lid closed ( page 112)?
Is there sufficient on-board voltage?
Start the engine if necessary.
These messages will also appear in the
multifunction display ( page 420).
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.

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.

helps you. Otherwise, you could become
trapped or injured.
Remove any wristwatches or jewelry
such as rings or bracelets. Otherwise,

yourself or damage to the vehicle.
Always use the grips provided as indi-
cated. Otherwise you could injure your-
self.
