Replacing the Battery
When the remote transmitter's
battery begins to
get weak, it may
take several pushes on the button to
lock or unlock
the doors, and the
LED will
get dim. Replace the
battery as soon as possible.
Battery type: CR2025
To replace the battery, remove the
round cover on the back of the trans­
mitter by turning it counterclockwise
with a coin.

Remove the old battery and note the
polarity. Make sure the polarity of
the new battery is the same (
+ side
facing up), then insert it
in the
transmitter.
Align the
v mark on the cover
with the
0 mark on the
transmitter, then set the cover
in
place and turn it clockwise.
Transmitter Care
Avoid severe shock to the trans­
mitter, such as dropping or throwing
it. Also, protect it from extreme hot
or cold temperatures.
Clean the transmitter case with a
soft cloth.
Do not use strong
cleaners or solvents that could harm
the case. Immersing the transmitter
in any liquid will harm the trans­
mitter and cause it to not function
properly.
If you lose a transmitter, you will
need to have the replacement
programmed to your vehicle's
system by your Honda dealer. Any
other transmitters you have
will also
need to be reprogrammed.

The convertible top on your Honda
lowers and raises electrically.
Before operating the convertible top,
make sure the car is parked on level
ground, and that there is enough
clearance above the top.
It is advisable to raise the top
whenever you park the car. This
helps to protect the car from
unexpected weather changes, and
from theft of your valuables.
NOTICE
• Do not operate the convertible top in
freezing weather. You can damage
the material and mechanism
of the
convertible top.
• Do not operate the top if it is wet,
dirty, or covered with ice or snow.
• Never drive the car with the
convertible top
half open.
• Do not lower or raise the top while
the engine
is running.
• Do not operate the convertible top if
the car is raised on the jack, a hoist,
or on jack stands.
Lowering the Convertible Top
Park your car in the shade whenever
possible. Extended exposure to sunlight can
cause the convertible top to
deteriorate.

convertible top will not operate
unless
the parking brake is fully
engaged.
