Opening and closing
42
A hardtop that is not fully opened or
closed is a safety hazard.
Do not interrupt and resume the closing proce-
dure several times in close succession as this
could damage the mechanism.<
If the hardtop is not fully opened or
closed, the luggage compartment lid can-
not be opened and the windows cannot be
moved.<
Convenient operation with remote
control and via door lock
Refer to pages 30 and 32.
Wind deflector*
The wind deflector keeps air movements in the
passenger compartment to a minimum when
the hardtop is open and provides an even more
comfortable ride, particularly at high speeds.
Installation
The wind deflector is stored in a protective
cover in the cargo bay. The protective cover
contains short instructions on how to operate
the wind deflector.
1. Remove the wind deflector from the protec-
tive cover and unfold it, arrows 1.
2. Press together the top and bottom sections
until the catch engages, arrow 2.
3. Push the fastening pin 3 into the opening
provided on the right side of the vehicle until
it snaps into place.
4. Push the fastening pin 4 into the opening
provided on the left side of the vehicle until
it snaps into place.
5. Turn the rotary handle in the direction of
arrow 5 as far as the first stop to insert the
right fastening pin into the holders.
6. Turn the rotary handle in the direction of
arrow 6 as far as the symbol to insert the
left fastening pin into the holders.
7. Fold up the top section of the wind deflec-
tor.
With the wind deflector installed: do not
recline the front-seat backrests too far if
the seat is to be slid all the way back, as this
would damage the wind deflector.<
Only turn the rotary handle within the
range between the two symbols, other-
wise the cable system inside the wind deflector
could be damaged.<
