On vehicles manufacturer from 09/2005, release the stowage lock with a screwdriver (on-board tool kit)
on one side of the vehicle. Lift the guide rail slightly and slide the first aid pouch (for example) under it.
Then release the stowage lock with a screwdriver on the other side of the vehicle. The convertible top can
now be lifted out.
At the same time, lift the convertible top out at the guide rails and move it forwards to the cowl.

Overheating protection for hydraulic pump
The hydraulic pump is protected against overload by the convertible top module having a limited running time.
The running time is calculated as follows:
When the hydraulic pump is switched on, a counter starts counting up (1 per second). When the hydraulic pump
is switched off, the counter starts counting down (1 every 20 seconds).
The counter for the overheating protection is counted down when the ignition is OFF. Condition: Counter over
100.
The system counts down until the counter reaches 100 again.
The control unit then goes into sleep mode.
If the counter exceeds a threshold value, the hydraulic pump can no longer be actuated (encoded cooling down
eriod: approx. 20 minutes).
To prevent a total failure for 20 minutes, an advance warning is given.
For an encoded period of time, the convertible top can then only be closed (provided the convertible top is not
completely folded away).
To prevent misuse, the counter reading is retained even if the battery terminals are disconnected.
Safety function
If a button in the control panel is still registered as being pressed 30 seconds after the convertible top has
stopped moving: A fault will be stored in the convertible top module.
Heated rear window
The heated rear window is not a s
stem function of the convertible top module.
