Soft top (Cabriolet)
Opening and closing the soft top
You can open or close the soft top either
when the vehicle is stationary or when driving
up to a speed of 40 m/h.
If there is a strong head wind, it may not be
possible to close the soft top fully. In this
case, reduce speed or stop in order to close
the soft top fully.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only open or close the soft
top when the vehicle is stationary.

Risk of accident and injury
Only drive with the soft top fully open or
closed.
If the soft top does not open or close fully, the
soft-top hydraulics are depressurised and the
soft top is lowered:
after about seven minutes if the ignition is
R
switched on
immediately if the ignition is switched off
R
A warning tone sounds shortly beforehand.
The Top being opened message appears in
the multifunction display.
Lock the soft top again before driving on. Oth-
erwise, the unlocked soft top could open dur-
ing the journey and cause you to lose control
of your vehicle. You or other persons could be
injured as a result.
! Never sit on the soft-top compartment
cover and do not store any heavy objects
on it. You will otherwise damage the soft
top and soft-top compartment cover of the
vehicle.
! The soft top swings upwards when it is
opened or closed. In order to avoid dam-
aging the soft top or other parts of the vehi-
cle when opening or closing the soft top,
observe the following:
there must be sufficient clearance above
R
the vehicle.
the boot separator must be closed and
R
must not be pushed upwards by the load.
there must not be any objects on the
R
soft-top compartment cover.
