Practical hints Opening/closing in an emergency Press hex wrench down firmly in direction of arrow 3 and hold. Press head restraint down in direction of arrow 4. Pull hex wrench 2 out and take weight off head restraint. Repeat this procedure on roll bar for second head restraint. Soft top emergency operation If the soft top cannot be automatically closed, check the following: Is the luggage cover engaged in place ( page 262)? Have the roll bars been released? If so, lower the roll bars manually ( page 424). Is the trunk lid closed ( page 110)? Is there sufficient on-board voltage? Start the engine if necessary. These messages will also appear in the multifunction display ( page 410). If automatic operation still does not function properly, you can close the soft top manually. This procedure should be performed with great care by two persons. Warning! ! Manually closing the soft top is a complicated and technically demanding procedure. Close the soft top manually in emergency cases only. Otherwise, visit an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Please read the instructions fully before beginning operation and only undertake it with another person and if you feel fully capable of performing the tasks involved. G It is important that a second person helps you. Otherwise, you could become trapped or injured. Remove any wristwatches or jewelry such as rings or bracelets. Otherwise, they could get caught in the vehicle mechanism, causing personal injury to yourself or damage to the vehicle. Always use the grips provided as indicated. Otherwise you could injure yourself. 425
