Caution!
Before opening the convertible top,
make sure the rear window defroster
switch is turned off. Otherwise the heat
generated from the window defroster
could damage the convertible top and the
internal material.
Make sure nothing is on the convertible
top or near the back window when raising
or lowering the convertible top. Even small
objects may interfere and cause damage.
Do not drive through an automatic car
wash; it may damage the convertible top.
Do not raise or lower the convertible top
when the temperature is below 41 °F
(5 °C); this will damage the convertible top
material.
Do not lower the convertible top when
it's wet. If the convertible top dries while
folded, it will deteriorate and mold.
Do not raise or lower the convertible top
in a strong wind as it could damage the
convertible top or cause an unexpected
accident.
