When small children are in the vehicle, never let them
use the switch.
NOTICE
When opening or closing the retractable hardtop,
make sure there is nothing above the vehicle.
Make sure there are no items or packages in the
package tray when opening or closing the retractable
hardtop. Even small items may interfere with the
retractable hardtop operation and can cause
damage.
Do not sit or place excessive weight on the
retractable hardtop when the hardtop is operating.
Damage to the hardtop may occur.
Do not open or close the retractable hardtop when
the temperature is below −20C (−4F), or the side
windows or quarter windows cannot be opened
because they are frozen. Damage to the hardtop, rear
window or quarter windows may result. If it is
necessary to do so, warm the vehicle in a heated
garage prior to operating the retractable hardtop
mechanism.
Do not open the retractable hardtop if the hardtop is
damp or wet. Possible interior water damage, water
stains or mildew on the hardtop material may result.
When the retractable hardtop is completely opened,
keep the rear window defogger turned off to avoid
damage to the hardtop.
Do not open the trunk when the retractable hardtop
is not closed or opened fully. The opened trunk may
not be closed.
Do not open or close the retractable hardtop
repeatedly within a short time. If the motor
prevention circuit activates, the retractable hardtop
operation is disabled. In this case, turn the ignition
switch off and operate the switch again after a while.
Do not place anything on the luggage cover. Doing so
could interfere with the retractable hardtop opening
and damage its mechanism.
The luggage should be loaded with the cover closed
securely. Otherwise the retractable hardtop opening
could be interfered and its mechanism could be
damaged.
INFORMATION
Do not operate the retractable hardtop when the
vehicle is on the incline or gets on the step. The
retractable hardtop may not activate properly.
If you operate the “OPEN/CLOSE” switch after the
ignition switch is turned to off and then on with the
retractable hardtop opened partially, it takes several
seconds before activation. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
When you open or close the retractable hardtop,
audio sound is automatically adjusted. For details,
see page 168.
