Remove leaves or other matter that
may accumulate on and around the
convertible top. If leaves or other matter
block the drain filter, water may enter
the vehicle. Clean the drain filter at least
once a year.
Before opening the convertible top,
make sure the rear window defogger
switch is turned off. Otherwise the heatgenerated from the defogger could
damage the convertible top and the
internal material.
Before lowering or raising the
convertible top, stop in a safe place off
the right-of-way and park on a level
surface.
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.
When lowering the convertible top,
make sure objects inside the vehicle are
not blown away by the wind.
Secure all loose objects inside before
driving with the convertible top down.
To help prevent burglary or vandalism
and to ensure that the passenger
compartment stays dry, close the
convertible top and both windows
securely and lock both doors when
leaving the vehicle.
Do not drive through an automatic
car wash; it may damage the
convertible top.
Do not raise or lower the convertible
top when the temperature is below 5 °C
(41 °F); this will damage the convertible
top material.
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.
Do not lower the convertible top
when it's wet. If the convertible top
dries while folded, it will deteriorate and
mold.
Lowering the convertible top while
it's wet can also cause water to drip
into the passenger compartment.
Do not raise or lower the convertible
top in a strong wind as it could damage
the convertible top or cause an
unexpected accident.
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.
The windblocker reduces the amount
of wind coming into the cabin from
behind when driving with the
convertible top opened.
