Warning!
To prevent possible accidents, only drive the
vehicle with the retractable hardtop either
completely closed and locked, or fully lowered
into its storage compartment.
If the retractable hardtop does not completely
open or close, the roof hydraulics will lose
pressure and the retractable hardtop is
lowered
after approximately 7 minutes when the

after approximately 15 seconds when the
R
ignition is switched off
Shortly before the retractable hardtop is
lowered, a warning will sound. In the
multifunction display you will see K and
the message Retractable Roof Lowering.
Properly lock the retractable hardtop before
continuing to drive. Otherwise, the unlocked
hardtop could open while the vehicle is in
motion and cause you to lose control of the
vehicle. You or others could be injured as a
result.
