Cleaning the Convertible Top The convertible top should be
cleaned often. Do not use
high-pressure car washes as these
may cause water to enter the
vehicle.
Hand wash the convertible top in
partial shade. Use mild soap,
lukewarm water, and a soft sponge.
A chamois or cloth may leave lint on
the top, and a brush can chafe the
threads in the top fabric. Do not use
detergents, harsh cleaners,
solvents, or bleaching agents.
Wet the entire top and let the soap
remain on the fabric for a few
minutes. Wash evenly to avoid
spots or rings. When the top is very
dirty, use a mild foam-type cleaner.
Thoroughly rinse the entire vehicle,
then let the top dry in direct sunlight. To protect the convertible top:
.
Make sure the convertible top is
completely dry before lowering it.
.
Do not get any cleaner on the
vehicle's painted finish; it could
leave streaks.

Seat Belt Pretensioners This vehicle has seat belt
pretensioners for front and rear
outboard occupants. Although the
seat belt pretensioners cannot be
seen, they are part of the seat belt
assembly. They can help tighten the
seat belts during the early stages of
a moderate to severe frontal, near
frontal, or rear crash if the threshold
conditions for pretensioner
activation are met. Seat belt
pretensioners can also help tighten
the seat belts in a side crash or a
rollover event. Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners activate in a crash,
the pretensioners and probably
other parts of the vehicle's seat belt
system will need to be replaced.
See Replacing Seat Belt System
Parts after a Crash 0 59 .
Do not sit on the outboard seat belt
while entering or exiting the vehicle
or at any time while sitting in the
seat. Sitting on the seat belt can
damage the webbing and hardware.
Rear Seat Belt Comfort Guides Rear seat belt comfort guides may
provide added seat belt comfort for
older children who have outgrown
booster seats and for some adults.
When installed on a shoulder belt,
the comfort guide positions the
shoulder belt away from the neck
and head.
Comfort guides are available
through your dealer for the rear
outboard seating positions.
Instructions are included with the
guide. Seat Belt Use During
Pregnancy Seat belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Like all
occupants, they are more likely to
be seriously injured if they do not
wear seat belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a
lap-shoulder belt, and the lap
portion should be worn as low as
possible, below the rounding,
throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus is
to protect the mother. When a seat
belt is worn properly, it is more likely
