Seats and Restraints 67
Rear Seat - Convertible Model
H:Seating positions with two lower
anchors.
Lower Anchors
To assist in locating the lower anchors, each
seating position with lower anchors has two
labels, near the crease between the seatback
and the seat cushion.
The outboard lower anchors are behind the
vertical openings in the seat trim.
Top Tether Anchors
On coupe models, the top tether anchors are
on the rear seatback filler panel.
To assist in locating the top tether anchors,
the top tether anchor symbol is on the
cover of the anchor.
Convertible models do not have top tether
anchors to be used to secure a child
restraint in any seating position.
Be sure to use an anchor located directly
behind the seating position where the child
restraint will be placed.
Do not secure a child restraint in a position
without a top tether anchor if a national or
local law requires that the top tether be
attached, or if the instructions that come
with the child restraint say that the top
tether must be attached.
According to accident statistics, children and
infants are safer when properly restrained in
a child restraint system or infant restraint

296 Vehicle Care
Finish Care
Application of aftermarket clearcoat sealant/
wax materials is not recommended.
If painted surfaces are damaged, see your
dealer to have the damage assessed and
repaired. Foreign materials such as calcium
chloride and other salts, ice melting agents,
road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
chemicals from industrial chimneys, etc., can
damage the vehicle's finish if they remain
on painted surfaces. Wash the vehicle as
soon as possible. If necessary, use
non-abrasive cleaners that are marked safe
for painted surfaces to remove foreign
matter.
Occasional hand waxing or mild polishing
should be done to remove residue from the
paint finish. See your dealer for approved
cleaning products.
Do not apply waxes or polishes to uncoated
plastic, vinyl, rubber, decals, simulated
wood, or flat paint as damage can occur.
Caution
Machine compounding or aggressive
polishing on a basecoat/clearcoat paint
finish may damage it. Use only
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
non-abrasive waxes and polishes that are
made for a basecoat/clearcoat paint finish
on the vehicle.
To keep the paint finish looking new, keep
the vehicle garaged or covered whenever
possible.
Protecting Exterior Bright Metal Moldings
Caution
Failure to clean and protect the bright
metal moldings can result in a hazy
white finish or pitting. This damage
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
The bright metal moldings on the vehicle
are aluminum, chrome or stainless steel. To
prevent damage always follow these
cleaning instructions:
.Be sure the molding is cool to the touch
before applying any cleaning solution.
.Use only approved cleaning solutions for
aluminum, chrome, or stainless steel.
Some cleaners are highly acidic or contain
alkaline substances and can damage the
moldings.
.Always dilute a concentrated cleaner
according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
.Do not use cleaners that are not intended
for automotive use.
.Use a nonabrasive wax on the vehicle
after washing to protect and extend the
molding finish.
Convertible Top Care
Frequently hand wash convertible tops with
mild car wash soap. Never use a stiff brush,
steam, bleach, or aggressive cleaners.
If necessary, a soft brush can be used to
remove dirt. When finished cleaning,
thoroughly rinse the fabric. Avoid automatic
car washes with overhead brushes or very
high pressure sprays as they can cause
damage and leaking.
Only lower the top when it is completely
dry and avoid leaving the top lowered for
extended periods of time to prevent
excessive interior weathering.
Avoid leaving large amounts of snow on the
top for extended periods of time as damage
may also occur.
