Convertible top care
The appearance and service life of the convert-
ible top depend on proper care and operation.
When using high-pressure cleaning jets,
do not remain in one place for a long time
and be sure to maintain a distance of at least
Please follow these instructions:
>
Never stow the convertible top in the con-
vertible top compartment when it is wet or
frozen, since this can cause water marks,
mildew stains, and scuff marks.

in/30 cm from sensors, e.g. Park Distance
Control sensors or radar sensors.<
Hand washing
>
Remove water marks on the headliner with
a microfiber cloth and interior cleanser.
When washing the vehicle by hand, use plenty
of water and car washing shampoo. Clean the >
vehicle with gentle pressure using a sponge or a
washing brush.
When parking for long intervals in enclosed
spaces, make sure there is sufficient venti-
lation.
Before cleaning the windshield, deacti- >
vate the rain sensor or switch off the igni-
tion to prevent unwanted wiper operation.<
Remove bird droppings immediately
because their caustic properties have a cor-
rosive effect on the convertible top and can
damage the rubber seals.
Follow local guidelines for washing vehi-
Do not use stain remover, paint thinner,
solvents, gasoline, or the like to remove
stains. These substances can damage the rub-
ber coating. Improper care and cleaning can
cause leaks to develop in the convertible top
and its seams.<
cles by hand.<
Headlamps
Do not rub dry and never use abrasives or
strong solvents to clean the covers.
Loosen dirt, e.g. insects, with shampoo or
insect remover and wash away with plenty of
water.
In the event of more serious soiling, use a spe-
cial convertible top cleaner.
When doing so, follow the manufacturer's
directions for use.
Use a window de-icer to remove accumulated
ice and snow, not a scraper.
After three to five washings, treat the convert-
ible top with sealant.
Windows
Use a glass cleaner to clean the inside and out-
side surfaces of the windows and the glass sur-
faces of the mirrors.
Caring for the vehicle finish
Regular care helps your vehicle retain its value
and protects the paint from the long-term
effects of aggressive substances.
Do not use quartz-containing cleansers
to clean glass surfaces of the mirrors.<
Regionally occurring environmental factors can
affect and damage vehicle finish. It is therefore
important to tailor the frequency and extent of
your car care accordingly.
Wiper blades
Clean with soapy water and replace regularly to
prevent streaking.
Immediately remove particularly aggressive
substances such as spilled fuel, oil, grease,
brake fluid, tree resin, or bird droppings; other-
wise, they may damage your paint.
The presence of wax and sealant residues
and dirt on the windows leads to streaking
during wiper operation and results in premature
wear on wiper blades as well as interference
with the rain sensor.<
