To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
When the vehicle is moving, always
keep the head, hands and other
parts of the body of all occupants
away from the roof opening. Other-
wise, you could be seriously in-
jured if the vehicle stops suddenly
or if the vehicle is involved in an ac-
cident.
Always make sure nobody places
his/her head, hands and other parts
of the body in the roof opening be-
fore you close the roof . If some-
one’s neck, head or hands gets
caught in the closing roof, it could
result in a serious injury. When any-
one closes the roof, first make sure
it is safe to do so.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the moon roof switches and get
trapped in the roof opening. Unat-
tended children can become in-
volved in serious accidents.
Never sit on top of the vehicle
around the roof opening.
CAUTION
!
When raising or lowering the con-
vertible top, keep hands clear from
the hinges of the top side rails and
any part of the top linkage.
The vehicle should never be driv-
en with the convertible top partial-
ly lowered. Make sure the top has
been either fully latched to the
windshield frame or fully lowered
before driving.
CAUTION
!
NOTICE
Make sure there are no items or
packages between the rear seat-
back and the convertible top stor-
age area when raising or lowering
the convertible top. Even small
items may interfere with convert-
ible top operation and can cause
damage.
Do not sit or place excessive
weight on the convertible top;
when the top is up or down, dam-
age to the top may result.
Do not raise or lower the convert-
ible top when the temperature is
below 5
C (41 F), or damage to the
top material or rear window may re-
sult. If necessary to do so, warm
the vehicle in a heated garage prior
to operating the convertible top
mechanism.
Do not lower the convertible top if
the top is damp or wet. Possible in-
terior water damage, water stains
or mildew of the top material may
result.
When the convertible top is com-
pletely lowered, keep the rear win-
dow defogger turned off to avoid
damage to the convertible top.
