close the door. Do not push or pull
on the door glass.
78 Instruments and Controls
• Do not lean or sit on an open door.
• The convertible top seals are
designed to promote the flow of
water off the roof. Spraying high
pressure water directly on the
seals can distort them, causing a
leak.
Use only a low pressure
water stream when using a hose,
and avoid car washes.

Hazard Warning
Push the red button next to the roof
switch to turn on the hazard warning
lights (four-way flashers). This
causes
all four outside turn signals
and both indicators in the instrument
panel to flash.
Use the hazard
warning lights
if you need to park in
a dangerous area near heavy traffic,
or
if your vehicle is disabled.
Mirrors
Keep the inside and outside mirrors
clean and adjusted for best visibility.
Be sure to adjust the mirrors before
you start driving.
The inside mirror has day and night
positions.
The night position reduces
glare from headlights behind you.
Flip the tab on the bottom edge of
the mirror to select the day or night
position.
