Practical hints Opening/closing in an emergency i Do not place the SmartKey in the open trunk. You may lock yourself out. Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*: To prevent a possible inadvertent lockout, the trunk lid will open automatically if a SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO* is recognized in the area of the rear shelf or inside the trunk. Place both straps on soft top compartment cover. Take hex wrench out of trunk. Close trunk lid. You will only have access to the trunk again when the emergency operation has been completed. ! The trunk lid must remain closed during the next steps in the procedure. Otherwise the trunk lid and the soft top compartment cover may come into contact with one another and be damaged. You and your assistant should each take one of the straps by the handle. With a strong, simultaneous tug on the loops, pull soft top compartment cover upward and out to the rear. Warning! G At this point, the remaining procedure needs to be done by two people. Otherwise you could be injured. 429
