 Convertible Top Precautions

WARNING

Sit in the seat with the seat belt correctly fastened when the vehicle is moving:

Standing in the vehicle, or sitting on the convertible top storage area or center console 

when the vehicle is moving is a dangerous way to ride. During a sudden maneuver or 

collision you could be seriously injured or even killed.

Always keep your hands and fingers away from the fastening mechanisms when 

moving the convertible top:

It is dangerous to place your hands or fingers near the fastening mechanisms. Your hands 

or fingers could be caught and injured by the mechanism.

CAUTION



  Remove leaves or other matter that may accumulate on and around the convertible top. 

If leaves or other matter block the drain filter, water may enter the vehicle. Clean the drain 

filter at least once a year.

  Refer to Convertible Top Maintenance on page 6-64.



  Before opening the convertible top, make sure the rear window defogger switch is turned 

off. Otherwise the heat generated from the defogger could damage the convertible top and 

the internal material.
