Soft top operation
The folding top and rear soft top are opened and
closed using the power soft top switch on the elec-
tronic selector lever module control unit.
The folding top can also be opened remotely and auto-
matically by means of a button on the transmitter key.
To operate the soft top via the power soft top switch
the vehicle's ignition must be switched on.
A short press of the power soft top switch in the
"Open" direction causes the folding top to open all the
way to its end position.
The folding top must always be fully opened before the
rear soft top can be opened. If the power soft top
switch is then pressed again and held in the "Open"
direction, the rear soft top is folded away for as long
as the switch is actuated. As soon as the rear soft top
has been stowed in its end position, its motors cut out
and the switch can be released.
To close the soft top, the power soft top switch is
pressed and held in the "Close" direction until the
rear soft top has reached its upper end position and
the motors of the rear soft top cut out; the switch can
then be released.
If the power soft top switch is pressed and held again,
the folding top closes until it reaches its own end
position and the motor cuts out; then the switch can be
released again.
The rear soft top and folding top lock automatically as
soon as they reach their end positions.
i Note
For safety reasons, it is not possible to close the
folding top automatically. There would be a risk of
injury during the closing process because limbs of
vehicle occupants could become trapped between
the roof frame and folding top in the area of the
windshield.
