CAUTION
When raising or lowering the soft

The vehicle should never be driven
with the soft top partially lowered.
Make sure the top has been either
fully latched to the windshield
frame or fully lowered before driv-
ing.
NOTICE
Make sure there are no items or
packages in the folding board when
lowering in the soft top. Even small
items may interfere with the soft
top operation and can cause dam-
age.

weight on the soft top when the top
is up or down. Damage to the top
may occur.
Do not raise or lower the soft top
when the temperature is below 5

F). Damage to the top or rear
window may result. If necessary to
do so, warm the vehicle in a heated
garage prior to operating the soft
top mechanism.
Do not lower the soft top if the top
is damp or wet. Possible interior
water damage, water stains or mil-
dew on the top material may result.
When the soft top is completely
lowered, keep the rear window de-
fogger turned off to avoid damage
to the top.
It may be hard to fix the soft top
when raising it after having kept it
open for a long time.
