Strength of the driver's and front
passenger airbag
The strength with which the driver's and front
passenger airbags are triggered depends on
the position of the driver's and front passenger
seats.
To maintain the accuracy of this function over
the long-term, calibrate the front seats when a
corresponding message appears on the Con‐
trol Display.
Calibrating the front seats
A corresponding message appears on the
Control Display.
1.
Move the respective seat forward all the
way.
2.
Move the respective seat forward again. It
moves forward briefly.
3.
Readjust the seat to the desired position.
The calibration procedure is completed when
the message on the Control Display disap‐
pears.
If the message continues to be displayed, re‐
peat the calibration.
If the message does not disappear after a re‐
peat calibration, have the system checked as
soon as possible.
Unobstructed area of movement
Ensure that the area of movement of the
seats is unobstructed to avoid personal injury
or damage to objects.◀
Rollover protection system
The concept
The rollover protection system is automatically
activated in the event of a sufficiently serious
accident or if the longitudinal axis is tilted ex‐
cessively. The safety frames located behind
the rear headrests extend within fractions of a
second.

Safety
Supplementing the reinforced front windshield
frame, the rollover protection system further
increases passenger safety.
Maintaining movement space
Always keep the movement space of the
rollover protection system clear. Otherwise,
there may be damage or injuries when the roll‐
over protection system is triggered.◀
Triggered rollover protection system
After deployment or damage
After deployment of the rollover protec‐
tion system or in the event of damage, have
the system checked and replaced.
Have this work performed only by your service
center; otherwise, it cannot be ensured that
this safety feature will function properly.◀
Do not move convertible top
When the rollover protection system is
extended, do not move the convertible top.
Otherwise, damages or injuries may result.◀
If the rollover protection system was not
placed under any stress after an automatic
triggering, it can be pushed back by hand, e.g.
to close the convertible top. Three people are
necessary for this.
1.
Push the lever to the side and hold it in this
position.
2.
Push down the safety frame.
3.
Release lever.
4.
Hold down the safety frame.
