Convertible Top (Hardtop)

The retractable hardtop opens/closes electrically by operating switches in the vehicle. When
opening/closing the roof and window glass operate together. The front roof is stored in the
storage area under rear roof.
To help prevent burglary or vandalism and to ensure that the passenger compartment stays
dry, close the roof and both windows securely and lock both doors when leaving the vehicle.

Convertible Top Precautions

WARNING

Always confirm that there are no people around the vehicle before operating the roof:

If the roof were to operate unexpectedly, it could result in an accident and serious injury from
someone getting caught in the mechanism.

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

Standing in the vehicle, or sitting on the rear roof 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
roof:

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



When getting in or out of the vehicle with the roof open, be careful not to hit your head or
body on the corner of the windshield glass. It may cause an injury.



Do not drive with the roof partially opened; this could damage the roof or cause an
unexpected accident.
