Notes on the soft top system
!
When transporting long objects inside
the vehicle, make sure they do not press
against the retractable soft top when it
is closed.
When carrying objects that protrude from
the rear of the vehicle, make sure they
are not resting on the retaining clips.
When loading, make sure no sharp objects
come into contact with the soft top or the
rear window.
Do not place any evenly distributed loads
with a weight of more than 165 lbs (75 kg)
on the rear soft top when folded down.
Make sure the high mounted brake lamp
is not concealed.
!
Do not block the soft top system’s
locking apertures.
Only place the side rails in the
designated storage space of the tailgate.
!
Do not sit on the folded-down rear soft
top.
Do not fold down the rear soft top at
temperatures below 14¦ (-10¥).
Do not place any pointed, sharp-edged,
hot (above 176¦ [80¥]), incandescent or
burning objects on the soft top’s lining.
Do not apply wax to the soft top fabric and
select only wax-free washing programs
when using an automatic car wash.
Only drive with the retaining clips
closed, as exhaust fumes could otherwise
reach the vehicle’s interior.
!
Please keep in mind that weather
conditions can sometimes change
rapidly. Make sure to close the
retractable soft top and the rear soft top
when leaving the vehicle. If water enters
the vehicle interior, vehicle
electronics could be damaged which is
not covered by the smart Limited
Warranty.
Opening and closing the retractable
soft top
You can open and close the retractable soft
top when the vehicle is either stationary
or in motion.
G
Warning!
Never operate the retractable soft top if
there is the possibility of anyone being
harmed by the opening or closing
procedure.
G
Warning!
The retractable soft top is made out of
fabric. In the event of an accident, the
fabric may tear. This may result in an
opening in the roof.
In a vehicle rollover, occupants not
wearing their seat belts or not wearing
them properly may be thrown out of the
opening. Such an opening also presents a
potential for injury for occupants wearing
their seat belts properly as entire body
parts or portions of them may protrude from
the passenger compartment.
