NOTE:
Rail lubrication is recommended every 2000 cycles, or if scratching noises due to dust are
present. Refer to "Fluids, Lubes, and Genuine Part" in "Maintaining Your Vehicle" in the
Owner' s Manual on the DVD for information.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior water damage, stains or mildew on
the top material:
• Avoid high-pressure car washes, as they can damage the top material. Also, in-
creased water pressure may force water past the weather strips.
• Remove any standing water from the top and dry the surface before opening it.
Operating the top, opening a door or lowering a window while the top is wet
may allow water to drip into the vehicle' s interior.
• Use care when washing the vehicle, water pressure directed at the weather strip
seals may cause water to leak into the vehicle' s interior.
The convertible top does not provide the structural protection that a reinforced
metal roof does and the fabric top cannot be expected to prevent the ejection of
the occupants in a collision. Therefore, it is important that all occupants wear their
seat belts at all times. Death or serious injuries could occur if you are ejected from
the vehicle during a collision.
