door-lock switch the same number of
times as the selected function number
(example: if you select function 2, push

unlocked while the setting function is
being performed.
The procedure can be cancelled by
pushing the lock side of the door-lock
switch.
Note:
The vehicle lock-out prevention
feature prevents you from locking
yourself out of the vehicle. Both doors,
trunk lid, and the fuel filler door will
automatically unlock if they are locked
using the power door locks with any
door open. If both the doors are closed
even though the trunk lid is open, both
the doors and the fuel filler door will
lock.
Door Unlock (Control) System
With Collision Detection — if
equipped : this system automatically
unlocks the doors, trunk lid, and the
fuel filler door in the event the vehicle is
involved in an accident to allow
passengers to get out of the vehicle
immediately and prevent being trapped
inside. While the ignition is placed in the ON position and in the event the
vehicle receives an impact strong
enough to inflate the air bags, both the
doors, the trunk lid, and fuel filler door
are automatically unlocked after about
six seconds have elapsed from the
time of the accident. The doors, trunk
lid, and the fuel filler door may not
unlock depending on how an impact is
applied, the force of the impact, and
other conditions of the accident. If
door-related systems or the battery is
malfunctioning, the doors, trunk lid,
and the fuel filler door will not unlock.
When opening a door, the power
windows open a little automatically.
When closing the door, the power
windows close automatically. This is a
function for improving the sealing of
the window, 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 open or close
automatically. If the power windows do
not open or close, the automatic
open/close mechanism for the
windows must be reset.

Secure all loose objects inside before
driving with the convertible top down.
To help prevent theft or vandalism
and to ensure that the passenger
compartment stays dry, close the
convertible top securely and lock both
doors when leaving the vehicle.
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.
Lowering the convertible top while
it's wet can also cause water to drip
into the cabin.
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.
Before starting the vehicle make sure
the convertible top is correctly locked.
Caution!
Before opening the convertible top,
make sure the rear window defroster
switch is turned off. Otherwise the heat
generated from the window defroster
could damage the convertible top and the
internal material.
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.
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 41 °F
(5 °C); this will damage the convertible top
material.
Do not lower the convertible top when
it's wet. If the convertible top dries while
folded, it will deteriorate and mold.
Do not raise or lower the convertible top
in a strong wind as it could damage the
convertible top or cause an unexpected
accident.

Electric power steering is only operable
when the engine is running.
If the engine is off or if the power
steering system is inoperable, you can
still steer, but it requires more physical
effort.
If the steering feels stiffer than usual
during normal driving or the steering
vibrates, contact your Authorized
Dealer.
The
warning light notifies the driver
of system abnormalities and operation
conditions.
Note: Never hold the steering wheel to
the extreme left or right for more than
five seconds with the engine running.
This could damage the power steering
system.

For cruising, these are recommended
shift points:
GearVehicle speed
1to2 7mph(11km/h)
2
to 3 19 mph (31 km/h)
3 to 4 26 mph (42 km/h)
4 to 5 34 mph (55 km/h)
5 to 6 41 mph (66 km/h)
Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy
traffic or on a steep upgrade, downshift
before the engine starts to overwork.
This reduces the chance of stalling and
gives better acceleration when you
need more speed.
On a steep downgrade, downshifting
helps maintain safe speed and prolongs
brake life. Manually Shifting Up (Automatic
Transmission)
Using selector lever: to shift up to a
higher gear, tap the selector lever back
+ once.
Paddle Mode — If Equipped
Tapping one of the steering
wheel-mounted shift paddles (+/-), if
equipped, while the gear selector is in
DRIVE (D), will activate Paddle Mode (a
temporary manual mode). The current
gear will be displayed in the instrument
cluster, with the "M" also illuminated.
The transmission will revert back to
normal operation (if the gear selector
remains in DRIVE) after a period of time,
depending on accelerator pedal activity.
