Button for operation

The button is in the center console between the controller and armrest. The button for the retractable hardtop works in a similar way to a power window switch.

• Pulling and holding the button opens the retractable hardtop and the side windows.
• Pushing and holding the button closes the retractable hardtop and the side windows.

If the button is released during the movement, the motion of the retractable hardtop or side windows stops immediately. The function display on the button has 2 LEDs (red and green). The green LED remains lit during the opening and closing processes. The red LED indicates incorrect operation or incorrect conditions (e.g. luggage compartment partition has not been lowered). The red LED flashes when the hardtop is in an intermediate position provided that no user control entries are being made at the same time. Flashing does not indicate a fault. The flashing LED is intended to draw attention to the fact that the vehicle must not be driven in this state.
