Automatic power top
General information
The power top opens and closes automat ica l­
l y . The ent ire power top is s tored in the power
top compartment. The power top may be
opened or closed at speeds up to 30 mph
(SO km/h).
Under normal conditions, the power top is
wind and w aterproof. In rare cases, small
drop lets of water may form under extreme
weather conditions such as torrential or pro­ longed rain. That is norma l and no cause for
concern.
F ollow the care instr uctions to keep the roo f
from leak ing and to maintai n its appearance
over time
c::> page 184, Vehicle care and
cleaning.
Also observe the following:
- Only open and store the power top when it is
clean a nd dry . Sharp dirt particles can cause
damage to the rear window and the power
top. If the power top is stored when damp,
dents can form . If left stored for a long per i­
od of t ime, mildew and other damage can
develop .
- Do not leave the power top open for several
weeks or the creases in it may become dis­
colored .
- Remove ice and snow before opening the
power top. Do not use any sharp edged ob ­
jects to remove ice and snow or the power top could be scratched or damaged . T he rear
window may be clea red wi th a standa rd ice
scraper.
- Do not open the power top when tempera­
tu res are below 32 ° F (0 °C). The fabr ic used

60 Seats and stor age
Seats and storage
General recommen­
dations
Why is your seat adjustment so
important?
The safety belts and the airbag system can
only provide maximum protection if the front
seats are correctly adjusted.
There are various ways of adjusting the front
seats to provide safe and comfortable support
for the driver and the front passenger. Adjust
you r seat prope rly so that :
- you can easily and quickly reach all the
switches and controls in the instrument
panel
-your body is properly supported thus reduc­
ing physical stress and fatigue
- the safety be lts and airbag system can offer
maximum protection
¢ page 131.
In the following sections, you will see exactly
how you can best adjust your seats .
There are special regulations and instructions
for installing a child safety seat on the front
passenger's seat. Always follow the informa­
tion regarding child safety provided in
¢ page 152, Child Safety.
WARNING
Refer to¢ page 112, Driving Safely for
important information, tips, suggestions
and warnings that you should read and fol­
low for your own safety and the safety of
your passengers.
A WARNING
, -
Incorrect seating position of the driver and
all other passengers can result in serious
personal injury .
- Always keep your feet on the floor when
the vehicle is in motion -never put your
feet on top of the instrument panel, out of the w indow or on top of the seat cush­
ion. This applies especially to the passen- gers
. If your seating position is incorrect,
you increase the risk of injury in the case
of sudden braking or an accident. If the
airbag inflates and the seating position is incorrect, this could result in personal
injury or even death.
- It is important for both the driver and front passenger to keep a distance of at
least 10 inches (25 cm) between them­
selves and the steering wheel and/or in­
strument panel.
If you're sitting any
closer than this, the airbag system can­
not protect you properly. In addition, the
front seats and head restraints must be
adjusted to your body height so that they
can give you maximum protection.
- Always try to keep as much distance as
possible between yourself and the steer­
ing wheel or instrument panel.
- Do not adjust the driver's or front pas­
senger 's seat while the vehicle is moving.
Your seat may move unexpectedly, caus­
ing sudden loss of veh icle control and
personal injury. If you adjust your seat
while the veh icle is moving, you are out
of posit ion.
Driver's seat
The correct seat position is important for safe
and relaxed driving .
We recommend that you adjust the driver's
seat in the following manner :
.. Adjust the seat in fore and aft direction so
that you can easily push the pedals to the
floor wh ile keeping your knees slightly bent
o &. in Why is your seat adjustment so im ­
portant? on page
60 .
.,. Adjust the seatback so that when you sit
w ith your back against the seatback , you can
still grasp the top of the steering wheel.
.. Applies to vehicles with adjustable head re­
straints: Adjust the head restraint so the up­
per edge is as even as possible with the top
of your head. If that is not possible, try to
adjust the head restraint so that it is as .,.
