convertible top securely and lock both
doors when leaving the vehicle.
The soft top is made of high quality
material and if it is not maintained
correctly, the material could harden,
becomes stained, or have an uneven
gloss.
Lowering the convertible top while
it's wet can also cause water to drip
into the cabin.
The power windows go down
automatically in conjunction with the
convertible top opening/closing.
However, this is a function for improving
the operability, and it does not mean
there is a problem. If the vehicle battery
is disconnected for vehicle maintenance
or other reasons, the power windows
will not go down automatically. If the
power windows do not go down, the
automatic open/close mechanism for
the windows must be reset.
The windblocker reduces the amount
of wind coming into the cabin from
behind when driving with the
convertible top opened.
Before starting the vehicle make sure
the convertible top is correctly locked.
Caution!
Before opening the convertible top,
make sure the rear window defroster
switch is turned off. Otherwise the heat
generated from the window defroster
could damage the convertible top and the
internal material.
Make sure nothing is on the convertible
top or near the back window when raising
or lowering the convertible top. Even small
objects may interfere and cause damage.
Do not drive through an automatic car
wash; it may damage the convertible top.
Do not raise or lower the convertible top
when the temperature is below 41 °F (5 °C);
this will damage the convertible top material.
Do not lower the convertible top when
it's wet. If the convertible top dries while
folded, it will deteriorate and mold.
Do not raise or lower the convertible top
in a strong wind as it could damage the
convertible top or cause an unexpected
accident.
