Lock Release Button
NOTE:
Do not spray water directly near the seam
of the window and convertible top when
flushing away dirt on the soft top with
water. Otherwise, water may enter the
vehicle. Refer to “Convertible Top Mainte
-
nance” in “Servicing And Maintenance”.
The convertible top may be constricted if
it is left retracted for a long period. There-
fore, if the top has become constricted, it
m
a
y be difficult to hook the top latch
striker to the anchor.
Make sure the convertible top is securely
locked by pushing up on it. If it still
sounds loose (rattles) after being locked
by the top latch, contact an authorized
dealer.
Convertible Top Precautions
Remove leaves or other debris that may
accumulate on and around the convertible
top. If leaves or other debris block the
drain filter, water may enter the vehicle.
Clean the drain filter at least once a year.
Before lowering or raising the convertible
top, stop in a safe place off of the road and
park on a level surface.
When lowering the convertible top, make
sure objects inside the vehicle are not
blown away by the wind.
Secure all loose objects inside before
driving with the convertible top down.
To help prevent theft or vandalism and to
ensure that the passenger compartment
stays dry, close the convertible top
securely and lock both doors when leaving
the vehicle.
The soft top is made of high quality mate-
rial and if it is not maintained correctly,
th
e material could harden, becomes
stained, or have an uneven gloss.
Lowering the convertible top while it's wet
can also cause water to drip into the cabin.
The power windows go down automatically
in conjunction with the convertible top
opening/closing. However, this is a func
-
tion for improving the operability, and it
do
es not mean there is a problem. If the
vehicle battery is disconnected for vehicle
maintenance or other reasons, the power
windows will not go down automatically. If
the power windows do not go down, the
automatic open/close mechanism for the
windows must be reset.

CAUTION!
Driving with the convertible top not fully
locked could damage the convertible top.
