Standing in a Moving Vehicle:
Standing in the vehicle, or sitting on 
the convertible top storage area or 
center console when it’s moving is a 
dangerous way to ride. During a 
sudden maneuver or collision you 
could be seriously injured or even 
killed.
Sit in the seat with the seat belt on 
when the vehicle is moving.

WARNING

Hardtop and Rollover Accidents:
Rollover accidents on a hardtop 
vehicle are dangerous. The hardtop is 
not as strong as a regular steel roof. 
Rollover accidents could dislodge or 
crush the hardtop and cause serious 
injuries or even death, just as with no 
top or a soft top.
Always drive safely and observe the 
speed limit.

WARNING

*Some models.
