Convertible top care
The appearance and life of the convertible top
depend on proper care and operation.
Steam jets/high-pressure washers
Follow these instructions:
When using steam jets or high-pressure
washers, make sure to maintain sufficient
distance from the vehicle and do not exceed a
temperature of 1407/606.
Insufficient clearance or excessive pressure or
temperature can lead to component damage or
water penetration. Follow the operating instruc-
tions for the steam jet or high-pressure
washer.<
>
Do not fold the convertible top into the con-
vertible top box when the top is wet or fro-
zen, as this may cause water spots, mold
stains or chafed areas.
>
>
If water spots occur on the inside headliner
despite precautions, remove them using a
microfiber cloth and interior cleaner.
If the vehicle is parked in enclosed areas for
extended periods, ensure that there is suffi-
cient ventilation.
When using high-pressure washers, do
not spray against the sensors and cam-
eras, e.g. of the Park Distance Control or Rear >
View Camera, for an extended period and main-
tain a distance of at least 1 ft/30 cm.<
Remove bird droppings immediately, as
their corrosive ingredients attack the con-
vertible top and damage the rubber seals.
To remove stains from the convertible
top, do not use stain removers, paint thin-
ners, solvents, benzine or similar substances.
These substances may damage the rubber
parts. Improper care and cleaning may cause
the convertible top and convertible top seams
to become leaky.<
Manual car wash
When washing the vehicle by hand, use large
quantities of water and car shampoo if neces-
sary. Clean the vehicle with a sponge or wash-
ing brush, applying light pressure only.
Before cleaning the windshield, deacti-
vate the rain sensor or switch off the igni-
tion to prevent unintentional activation of the
wipers.<
To remove heavy soiling, use a special convert-
ible top cleaner.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
Observe local regulations pertaining to
washing vehicles by hand.<
After washing the convertible top three to five
times, treat it with an impregnating agent.
