Stowage lock
From manufacturer date 09/2005 the following applies:
When the convertible top is opened, the convertible top must be recognized as being folded away. The
"convertible top open" Hall sensor provides the signal. See 54 34 192 REMOVING AND
INSTALLING/REPLACING STOWAGE LOCK (09/2005) .
During closing, the stowage lock drives are actuated. If the "convertible top open" Hall sensor has not
switched after 4 seconds (value encoded), the convertible top module (CVM) will deactivate the
convertible top drive
Auto-remote opening and closing of the convertible top
Auto-remote opening with remote control
Press and hold the "Open" button on the remote control: The folding sunroof is opened.
Press and hold the "Open" button on the remote control a second time:
After approx. 4 to 5 seconds, the convertible top will start to move. Keep the "Open" button pressed until
the convertible top is folded away.
As there is no anti-trap circuit, auto-remote closing with the remote control is not possible.
Auto-remote opening with the key in the driver's door lock
While the convertible top is moving, hold the key in the "close" position in the lock.
Auto-remote opening via the lock is not possible.
Emergency closure of the convertible top by hand
In the event of a failure of the electrohydraulic drive, the convertible top can also be closed manually
(emergency closure).
Emergency closure runs as follows:
Open the tailgate.
Open the loading aid locking mechanism.
Remove the first aid kit from the left-hand luggage compartment trim panel and the cover behind it.
Use the Allen wrench (on-board tool kit) to turn the screw that is now accessible on the hydraulic pump
valve block throu
h 1.5 turns anticlockwise.
NOTE: For the stowage lock to be actuated when the convertible top is opened, the
"convertible top open" Hall sensor signal must be present.
