Roll bar still pops up when the car detects an impending roll over even in the down position.

The SMOG feature is a system which detects elevated levels of carbon monoxide and other pollutants outside the vehicle and automatically activates the secondary cabin air charcoal filter, and deactivates it when the air is clean enough again. SMOG on the display is just an indication that the system is on, there is no input required from the user. I have this same feature on my '96 S600. I believe it was standard on the higher level models. Please upvote so others (and hopefully Doug) can see this. Nice car!

I see the owner has manufactured two clones to take the roof on and off.

Also, the roll bar still automatically pops up with a spring in a roll over even if you have it down, Doug.

We can thank the great Bruno Sacco for this beautiful masterpiece. The R129 was one of his best designs.

The top going down sounds like my printer when it preps itself after just turning it on😂
