The individual stages when opening the soft top

Stage 0

Soft top closed.

Stage 1

Turn the release lever to the right and gently raise the soft top. Then turn back the release lever and fold up.

Keep pressing the soft-top operation switch (S84).
The indicator lamp in the soft-top operation switch (S84) starts to flash on and off (until end of stage 10).

 A remote trunk release is not possible until the soft top is completely open.
For safety reasons the opening procedure is interrupted immediately at any time (stop function) if the soft-top operation switch (S84) is released.

Stage 2

The side windows at the front and rear are opened electrically (if closed beforehand). The roll bar is lowered hydraulically (if raised beforehand).

Stage 3

The soft top bow is unlocked hydraulically.

Stage 4

The soft top bow is pivoted up hydraulically until in an approximately 90° position.

Stage 5

The soft top compartment cover is unlocked hydraulically.

Stage 6

The soft top compartment cover is pivoted upward hydraulically.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stage 7

The soft top bow is moved hydraulically into the soft-top compartment.

Stage 8

The soft top is moved hydraulically into the soft-top compartment.

The temperature sensor (B10/4b1) for the air conditioning is automatically switched to ground potential by the roll bar (RB)/ soft-top operation control module (N52).

Stage 9

The soft top compartment cover is pivoted downward hydraulically.

Stage 10

The soft top compartment cover is locked hydraulically.

A signal sounds from the overhead control panel control module (N70) confirming the correct implementation.

The roll bar is raised (if not raised beforehand) and the side windows at front and rear are closed (if not closed beforehand). The indicator lamp in the soft-top operation switch (S84) goes out.

Top-up times for the hydraulic cylinders

Even after the individual limit switch positions have been reached, the corresponding hydraulic cylinder still remains actuated for a short time to compensate for tolerances of the limit switch switching points.
