Before Driving
Convertible Top (Soft Top)
y
Before lowering or raising the convertible top, stop in a safe place off the right-of-way
and park on a level surface.
y
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.
y
When lowering the convertible top, make sure objects inside the vehicle are not blown
away by the wind.
y
Secure all loose objects inside before driving with the convertible top down.
y
To help prevent burglary or vandalism and to ensure that the passenger compartment stays
dry, close the convertible top securely and lock both doors when leaving the vehicle.
y
Do not drive through an automatic car wash; it may damage the convertible top.
y
Do not raise or lower the convertible top when the temperature is below 5 °C (41 °F) ; this
will damage the convertible top material.
y
The soft top is made of high quality material and if it is not maintained correctly, the
material could harden, becomes stained, or have an uneven gloss.
y
Do not lower the convertible top when it's wet. If the convertible top dries while folded, it
will deteriorate and mold.
y
Lowering the convertible top while it's wet can also cause water to drip into the passenger
compartment.
y
Do not raise or lower the convertible top in a strong wind as it could damage the
convertible top or cause an unexpected accident.

y
The power windows go down automatically in conjunction with the convertible top
opening/closing. However, this is a function for improving the operability, and it does 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.
Refer to Operating the Power Windows on page 3-31 .
y
The windblocker reduces the amount of wind coming into the cabin from behind when
driving with the convertible top opened.
Refer to Windblocker on page 5-138 .
