Soft top (folding roof)

Soft top
General notes
The soft top opens and closes automatically.
When the top opens, it folds away completely in­
to the storage box. The soft top can be opened or
closed at a speed of up to SO km/h.
In normal conditions the soft top is windproof
and waterproof. In extremely bad weather (such
as torrential or continuous rain), a few droplets
of water may possibly form inside the car. This is
quite normal, and no cause for concern.
To preserve the appearance of the soft top and
keep it waterproof, please follow the instructions
for cleaning and care
You should also note the fol­
cle and cleaning.
lowing points:
- Open and stow the soft top only when it is
clean and dry. Pressure creases can form if the
soft top is stowed when damp, and mildew or
other damage can occur if left for long periods.
To avoid scratching or damaging the soft top,
do not use sharp objects to remove ice and
snow. A normal ice scraper can be used to clear
the rear window.
- Do not leave the soft top open for weeks at a
time to prevent any discolouration in the folds
of the fabric.
- Do not open the soft top at temperatures be­
low O C. The fabric loses its elasticity at sub­
0
zero temperatures.

WARNING
- When operating the soft top make sure that
external factors, e.g. wind, do not affect the
function of the soft top and do not incon­
venience or endanger other road users.
- Never drive with the soft top not correctly
locked in place. There is a danger that the
fabric could be caught by the airstream and
blown open. This could cause an accident,
possibly resulting in personal injury or dam­
age to the car.
- When opening and closing the soft top,
make sure there is no risk of injury from the
moving parts of the frame, etc.
- Since the rearward view is obstructed while
the soft top is opening or closing, you
should avoid operating the soft top when re­
versing.

CAUTION
