lowering the convertible top.
Lowering the convertible
top if it is damp, wet, or dirty
can cause stains, mildew, and
damage to the inside of your
vehicle. Dry off the convertible
top before lowering it.
If you lower the
convertible top on your vehicle
in cold weather (-18°C (0°F)
or lower), you may damage
convertible top components. Do
not lower the top in cold weather.
If you raise or lower the
convertible top while the vehicle

the top or the top mechanism.
The repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Always put
