The retractable hard top operating switch must
be operated under all of the following conditions.
●
When the vehicle is stopped
● When the engine is running
● When the separator is fixed in the position
separating the roof storage area and the
trunk room
● When the trunk lid is closed
CAUTION
Always keep the engine running while operating
the retractable hard top. Even if the engine stops,
the retractable hard top will also operate when the
ignition switch is in the ON position, but be sure to
run the engine to prevent battery discharge.
Be sure to follow the operating instructions and
all of the warnings and cautions in this section.
Improper operation of the retractable hard top
could cause a system malfunction, damage or
deterioration of the retractable hard top mate-
rial and related parts.
WARNING
●Park the vehicle in a safe and level location
and apply the parking brake.
● Make sure the parking area is clear of ob-
stacles and there is enough clearance over
the retractable hard top (for example, in a
garage or a covered area). More than ap-
proximately 6.6 ft (2 m) from the ground and
more than approximately 3.3 ft (1 m) from the
rear is required to open or close the retract-
able hard top safely. Otherwise, the top may
damage any objects above it while moving.
The retractable hard top operating system
could also be damaged.

●Do not operate the retractable hard top in a
strong wind. It could be blown by the wind,
striking someone or damaging the retract-
able hard top.
● When the retractable hard top is retracted,
do not allow anyone to stand up or extend
any portion of their body out of the opening
while the vehicle is in motion or while the
retractable hard top is being operated.
● In an accident you could be thrown from the
vehicle with an open retractable hard top if
you do not use seat belts. Always use seat
belts and proper child restraints.
● Do not place any objects on or near the re-
tractable hard top operating switch. Unin-
tentional operation of the retractable hard
top may cause injuries or an accident if the
objects press the switch.
● Do not put your fingers or hands in the gap
between the rear seats and the rear parcel
shelf or the side flaps. Doing so may cause
injury if the retractable hard top is operated.CAUTION
● Do not operate the retractable hard top when
the temperature is below 32°F (0°C). This
may result in damage to the retractable hard
top material or operating system.
● Remove water drops, snow, ice or sand from
the retractable hard top, and dry the surface
of the retractable hard top completely before
opening it.
● Do not open the retractable hard top when it
is wet or damp. If the retractable hardtop and
rear window are wet, water might get inside
of the vehicle. To avoid this, wipe off any
water drops before opening the retractable
hard top.
● Do not place any objects between the hard
rail and the structure. Doing so could inter-
fere with retractable hard top operation and
cause damage to the retractable hard top
operating system or the objects.
● Do not place any objects on the upper area of
the windshield glass or the hard rail when
the retractable hard top is fully opened. Do-
ing so could interfere with retractable hard
top operation and cause damage. ●
Do not place any object between the retract-
able hard top when the retractable hard top
is stored in the storage space. Doing so may
interfere with retractable hard top operation
and cause damage.
● Do not place anything on the retractable
hard top, rear parcel shelf, side flaps and
trunk lid. Even small items may interfere
with the retractable hard top operation and
could cause damage to the retractable hard
top or the vehicle body.
● Do not place anything in the retractable hard
top storage area. The retractable hard top
will not fit there properly, and this could
damage the retractable hard top and/or the
vehicle body.
● Do not sit or place excessive weight on the
top, rear parcel shelf, side flaps and trunk
lid, especially when the retractable hard top
is being operated. The retractable hard top
may be damaged.
● Do not drive the vehicle with the retractable
hard top partially opened. Always make sure
the retractable hard top is either fully
opened or closed before driving.
● Secure items so that they cannot be blown
from the vehicle while driving with the re-
tractable hard top open.
