CAUTION
Driving with the convertible top not
fully locked could damage the
convertible top.
If the red indicator is visible on the
unlock button, the convertible top is
not locked. After locking the
convertible top, verify that the red
indicator is not visible.
NOTE
The convertible top may be constricted if it
l
is left retracted for a long period.
Therefore, if the top has become
constricted, it may be difficult to hook the
top latch striker to the anchor.
Make sure the convertible top is securely
l
locked by pushing up on it. If it still sounds
loose (rattles) after being locked by the top
latch, have it inspected at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
