tions.
Do not put any items or packages on the package tray even if they are extremely
●
small.

●
When the outside temperature is -4°F (-20°C) or below or if the side windows
●
are frozen shut, do not open or close the retractable hardtop.
Do not open the retractable hardtop if it is wet. Possible interior water damage,
●

Do not leave the vehicle for an extended period of time with an open or close
●
operation incomplete.
Do not open the trunk lid while the retractable hardtop is operating.
●
If the retractable hardtop is operated repeatedly within a short period of time, the

this case, turn the "ENGINE START STOP" switch to ACCESSORY mode or off
and, after waiting for a while, perform the procedure again.
