Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Load Assistance
This function increases the space in the cargo compartment when the roof is retracted and all roof sections are collected in the cargo compartment. This is to facilitate loading cargo. The maximum compartment height is then 300 mm. The cargo compartment divider must always be extended in order for the load assistance function to be activated. The function is checked by the Convertible Roof Module (CRM) and controlled from a switch located in the cargo compartment, on the right-hand side of the sill.
When the load assistance switch is activated, the roof sections start to move to their limit positions.
The switch does not need to be held pressed in for operation.
Every time the switch is activated, the direction of operation is changed. If the switch is pressed before the operation reaches its limit position, the entire operation stops immediately. The next time the switch is activated, the direction changes.
The following sequence is followed when the switch is activated: Up-Stop-Down-Stop-Up-Stop- etc.
