Warning!
Always keep your hands and fingers
away from the fastening mechanisms when
moving the convertible top: it is dangerous
to place your hands or fingers near the
fastening mechanisms. Your hands or
fingers could be caught and injured by the
mechanism.
Sit in the seat with the seat belt correctly
fastened when the vehicle is moving:
standing in the vehicle, or sitting on the
convertible top storage area or center
console when the vehicle is moving is a
dangerous way to ride. During a sudden
maneuver or collision you could be
seriously injured or even killed.
