Suzuki SIDEKICK 2-DOOR HARDTOP - 1995 Owner's Manual page 56

OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
The canvas top is provided only
to offer some protection against
undesirable weather conditions. It
is not designed to hold occupants
inside the vehicle, or to protect
against the intrusion of foreign ob-
jects in the event of an accident.
Wear your seat belt at all times.
Do not modify the center pillar of
your canvas top vehicle. Modifica-
tion or damage can result in reduc-
ed occupant protection in the event
of an accident. If the center pillar
becomes damaged in any way,
have it checked immediately by
your SUZUKI dealer.
Avoid operating the vehicle with
the rear window open or removed.
If it is necessary to open or remove
the rear window, make sure the
folding sunroof and all windows
are closed, and the fan is at high
speed with the air intake lever set
to "FRESH AIR". If you do not
take this precaution, exhaust gas
can enter the vehicle. Refer to the
EXHAUST GAS WARNING section
for details.

CAUTION
To help prevent damage to the canvas
top, you should take the following
precautions:
* Avoid opening the folding sunroof
or removing the canvas top when
the temperature is below 41°F
(5°C). Bending or folding the can-
vas in cold temperatures can cause
damage to the canvas.
* Do not run your canvas top vehicle
through automatic car washes.
The windows can be scratched or
the canvas can be damaged.
* Make sure that the rear and side
windows are clean before tucking
or removing the canvas top. If the
windows are dirty, the dirt can
scratch the windows when the top
is folded.
* Do not tap or beat the plastic win-
dows to remove snow or dust
when the temperature is below
41 °F (5°C). Tapping or beating the
plastic windows in cold tempe-
ratures can damage the windows.
* (For full-removal type top)
Be sure to fully open the rear win-
dow before you open the rear gate.
Attempting to open the rear gate
with the rear window not opened
fully can damage the canvas top.
Opening and Closing the Folding Sunroof
(For both type canvas tops)
Never attempt to open or close the
folding sunroof while driving. You
may lose control of the vehicle or
may damage the canvas top.
To open the folding sunroof, use the
following procedure:
1) After lowering the sun visors, push in
the lock buttons on the front latches
and unhook the latches.
