Opening the Roof

When opening the roof, make sure objects
inside the vehicle are not blown away by
the wind. Secure all loose objects inside
before driving with the roof down.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground in a

safe place where the vehicle does not
obstruct traffic.



Shift the shift lever to neutral on a
manual transmission vehicle.



Shift the selector lever to P on an
automatic transmission vehicle.



Apply the parking brake.

2. Make sure that the trunk is closed.
3. Start the engine to prevent the battery

from going dead.

4. Continue pressing the retractable

hardtop switch in the open direction
until the roof opening operation is
completed. When the opening
operation is completed, a beep sound is
activated and the operation indicator
light turns off.

NOTE



If the retractable hardtop switch is
pressed in the open direction, a
warning beep sounds. 



When pressing the retractable
hardtop switch while the windows
are closed, the windows open
slightly. If the switch is continuously
pressed in the open direction until
the roof opening operation is
completed, the windows return to
their original positions. However,
the windows may not return to their
original positions depending on the
conditions.



The roof keeps opening and the
operation indicator light flashes
while the retractable hardtop switch
is pressed in the open direction.



If the switch is released while the
roof is opening, the roof stops
opening. If the switch is pressed in
the open direction again, the roof
resumes opening.



When the roof is half-open, the front
roof resumes opening after the rear
roof is completely open.
