Lars,
sounds good so far.
When the roof is operated the the first few times after refill, the remaining air gets pushed out of the hydraulic system. That is the reason why the oil level falls again. I would recommend to open and close the roof five to ten times while keeping an eye on the oil level and adding fluid if necessary.
One comment regards your empty battery. Do not attempt to start the car with an empty battery! Since you have got the V6 2.6 (ABC), you would certainly risk to put the engine control unit (ECU) into backup mode. Once entered, the ECU loses information on the correct throttle position and the idle stabiliser characteristics. Unfortunately this is no self-learning system, thus a reset via OBD (at a repair shop or via certain hard and software) is mandatory to get the ECU back into calibrated mode.
Thus, my recommendation would be: First recharge the battery. Then switch on ignition, but do not start. Check the battery gauge. It should read 12V+x to ensure a save start of the ECU.
Good luck.
I would be happy to read your response (telling that you had success).
Keep posting in "any" language... I guess - to a certain extend - this community is international enough to handle that
