57) 58) 59) 60) 61)
12) 13) 15) 15) 16) 17) 18) 19) 20) 21)
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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

104)Do not allow a child or anyone to lean
over or against the side window of a
vehicle with side air bags. It is dangerous
to allow anyone to lean over or against the
side window, the area of the passenger
seat from which the side air bags deploy,
even if a child-restraint system is used. The
impact of inflation from a side air bag could
cause serious injury or death to an out of
position child. Furthermore, leaning over or
against the door could block the side air
bags and eliminate the advantages of
supplementary protection. Because the
side air bag deploys from the outer
shoulder of the seat, do not allow the child
to lean over or against the side window,
even if the child is seated in a
child-restraint system.
105)Never use one seat belt on more than
one person at a time. Using one seat belt
for more than one person at a time is
dangerous. A seat belt used in this way
cannot spread the impact forces properly
and the two passengers could be crushed
together and seriously injured or even
killed. Never use one belt for more than
one person at a time and always operate
the vehicle with each occupant properly
restrained.
106)Use the tether and tether anchor only
for a child-restraint system. Child-restraint
system anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly installed child-restraint systems.
Under no circumstances are they to be
used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment to the
vehicle.107)Always install a rear-facing child seat
in the correct seat position. Installing a
rear-facing child seat without first
consulting the table “Child-restraint system
suitability for various seat positions” is
dangerous. A rear-facing child seat
installed on the wrong seat position cannot
be properly secured. In a collision, the child
could hit something or someone in the
vehicle and be seriously injured or even
killed.
108)Always install a junior seat in the
correct seat position. Installing a junior seat
without first consulting the table
“Child-restraint system suitability for
various seat positions” is dangerous. A
junior seat installed on the wrong seat
position cannot be properly secured. In a
collision, the child could hit something or
someone in the vehicle and be seriously
injured or even killed.
109)Always install a baby seat in the
correct seat position. Installing a baby seat
without first consulting the table
“Child-restraint system suitability for
various seat positions” is dangerous. A
baby seat installed on the wrong seat
position cannot be properly secured. In a
collision, the child could hit something or
someone in the vehicle and be seriously
injured or even killed.110)Never use a rear-facing child-restraint
system on the passenger seat protected
by an air bag. Extreme Hazard! Do not use
a rearward facing child-restraint on a seat
protected by an airbag in front of it! The
child-restraint system can be hit by the
deploying air bag and knocked out of
position. A child in the child-restraint
system could be seriously injured or killed.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
passenger occupant classification system,
always make sure the passenger air bag
deactivation OFF indicator light is
illuminated, if installing a rear-facing
child-restraint system on the passenger
seat is unavoidable.
111)Never install a front-facing child seat
in the wrong seat position: Installing a
front-facing child seat without first
consulting the table “Child-restraint system
suitability for various seat positions” is
dangerous. A front-facing child seat
installed in the wrong seat position cannot
be properly secured. In a collision, the child
could hit something or someone in the
vehicle and be seriously injured or even
killed. Make sure the passenger air bag
deactivation OFF indicator light is
illuminated.
112)Before installing child-restraint system
on the passenger seat, move the
passenger seat as far back as possible: In
a collision, the force of a deploying air bag
could cause serious injury or death to the
child. Make sure the passenger air bag
deactivation OFF indicator light is
illuminated.

SAFETY

Side Air Bags
The side air bags are mounted in the
outer sides of the seat backs fig. 78.
When the air bag crash sensors detect
a side impact of greater than moderate
force, the system inflates the side air
bag only on the side in which the
vehicle was hit.
The side air bag inflates quickly to
reduce injury to the driver or
passenger's head and chest caused by
directly hitting interior parts such as adoor or window. For more details about
air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air
Bag deployment criteria" in this chapter.
In addition, the passenger side bag is
designed to only deploy when the
passenger occupant classification
sensor detects a passenger sitting on
the passenger's seat.
Warning Light/Beep
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to “Warning lights and messages”
paragraph in “Knowing your instrument
panel” chapter. Refer to “Warning
sound is activated” paragraph in
“Knowing your instrument panel”
chapter.Passenger side front air bag and
child-restraint systems
Rearward-facing child restraint systems
mustNEVERbe fitted on the front seat
with an active passenger side air bag
since in the event of an impact the air
bag activation may cause fatal injuries
to the transported child.
ALWAYScomply with the instructions
on the label stuck on the passenger
side sun visor fig. 79.

WARNING
118)Seat belts must be worn in air bag
equipped vehicles. Depending only on the
air bags for protection during an accident
is dangerous. Alone, air bags may not
prevent serious injuries. The appropriate air
bags can be expected to inflate only in the
first accident, such as frontal, near frontal
or side collisions that are at least
moderate. Vehicle occupants should
always wear seat belts.
119)Always make sure the passenger air
bag deactivation OFF indicator light is
illuminated when using a child restraint
system. Seating a child in a child-restraint
system that is installed on the passenger
seat with the passenger air bag
deactivation OFF indicator light not
illuminated is extremely dangerous. In an
accident, an air bag could inflate and
cause serious injuries or even death to the
child seated in the child restraint system.
Always make sure the passenger air bag
deactivation OFF indicator light is
illuminated.120)EXTREME HAZARD! Never use a
rear-facing child-restraint system on the
passenger seat with an air bag that could
deploy. NEVER use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE
AIR BAG in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY to the CHILD can occur. Even in a
moderate collision, the child-restraint
system can be hit by a deploying air bag
and moved violently backward resulting in
serious injury or death to the child. If your
vehicle is equipped with on passenger
occupant classification system, always
make sure the passenger air bag
deactivation OFF indicator light is
illuminated.
121)Do not sit too close to the driver and
passenger air bags. Sitting too close to the
driver and passenger air bag modules or
placing hands or feet on them is extremely
dangerous. The driver and passenger air
bags inflate with great force and speed.
Serious injuries could occur if someone is
too close. The driver should always hold
onto only the rim of the steering wheel. The
passenger should keep both feet on the
floor. Seat occupants should adjust their
seats as far back as possible and always
sit upright against the seat backs with seat
belts worn properly.122)Do not sit too close to a door or lean
against doors in vehicles with side air bags.
Sitting too close to the side air bag
modules or placing hands on them is
extremely dangerous. A side air bag
inflates with great force and speed directly
out of the outer shoulder of the seat and
expands along the door on the side the car
is hit. Serious injury could occur if someone
is sitting too close to the door or leaning
against a window in the seats.
Furthermore, sleeping up against the door
or hanging out the driver-side window while
driving could block the side air bag and
eliminate the advantages of supplementary
protection. Give the side air bags room to
work by sitting in the center of the seat
while the vehicle is moving with seat belts
worn properly.
123)Sit in the center of the seat and wear
seat belts properly. Sitting too close to the
side air bag modules or placing hands on
them, or sleeping up against the door or
hanging out the windows is extremely
dangerous. The side air bags inflate with
great force and speed directly expanding
along the door on the side the car is hit.
Serious injury could occur if someone is
sitting too close to the door. Give the side
air bags room to work by sitting in the
center of the seat while the vehicle is
moving with seat belts worn properly.
124)Do not attach objects on or around
the area where driver and passenger air
bags deploy. Attaching an object to the
driver and passenger air bag modules or
placing something in front of them is
dangerous. In an accident, an object could
interfere with air bag inflation and injure the
occupants.
