Concerns:
Fitting Roof Transport System (RTS)

Warning!
Risk of damage to the convertible top or Roof Transport System when the Roof Transport System is fitted
-
as a result of convertible top operation;
-
as a result of cleaning of the vehicle in an automatic car wash!
>
Remove fuse No. 3 in row D for convertible top operation (see fold-out sheet in lid of the fusebox) if the Roof Transport System is fitted. This will
prevent unintended operation of the convertible top.
>
Remove complete Roof Transport System before the vehicle is cleaned in the automatic car wash.
Danger of accident (death / danger to yourself and other road users!)
-
as a result of losing the Roof Transport System or individual add-on modules,
-
as a result of changed vehicle handling (higher center-of-gravity and larger area exposed to the wind) if the Roof Transport System is fitted, and
especially if it is loaded,
-
as a result of incorrect loading of the Roof Transport System.
>
Regularly check the Roof Transport System and add-on modules before each trip and during an
extended trip to ensure it is seated securely. Tighten all fastening screws using the tools included in
with the assembly.
