Raising The Power Top
Auto Close
From the convertible top fully open position, push the top close button for approxi-
mately one second for the three-quarter open/spoiler position. Push the top close
button for approximately one second a second time for the one-quarter open posi-
tion. Push and hold close button to fully close convertible top.
Manual Close
For manual close, push and hold the close button until desired position until one-
quarter open position. Push and hold again for full close position.
NOTE:
Rail lubrication is recommended every 2000 cycles, or if scratching noises due to
dust are present. Refer to “Fluids, Lubes, and Genuine Part” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” in the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for information.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior water damage, stains or mil-
dew on the top material:
• Avoid high-pressure car washes, as they can damage the top material. Also,
increased water pressure may force water past the weather strips.
• Remove any standing water from the top and dry the surface before opening
it. Operating the top, opening a door or lowering a window while the top is
wet may allow water to drip into the vehicle’s interior.
• Use care when washing the vehicle, water pressure directed at the weather
strip seals may cause water to leak into the vehicle’s interior.
WARNING!
The convertible top does not provide the structural protection that a reinforced
metal roof does and the fabric top cannot be expected to prevent the ejection
of the occupants in a collision. Therefore, it is important that all occupants wear
their seat belts at all times. Death or serious injuries could occur if you are
ejected from the vehicle during a collision.

EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
• This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of
an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding
how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related
to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating.
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened.
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
• These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE:EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no datais recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g. name,gender, age, and crash location) is recorded. However, other parties, such as law en-forcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data rou-tinely acquired during a crash investigation.
• To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to
the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other
parties such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
