SEAT BELTS IN
PASSENGER SEATING
POSITIONS
The seat belts in the rear passenger
seating positions are equipped with
Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR)
which are used to secure a child re-
straint system. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Installing Child Re-
straints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt”
under the “Child Restraints” section.
The chart below defines the type of
feature for each seating position.

First
Row N/A N/A N/A
Second Row ALR N/A ALR

 ALR — Automatic Locking Retrac- tor
If the passenger seating position is
equipped with an ALR and is being
used for normal usage: Only pull the belt webbing out far
enough to comfortably wrap around
the occupant's mid-section so as to
not activate the ALR. If the ALR is
activated, you will hear a ratcheting
sound as the belt retracts. Allow the
webbing to retract completely in this
case and then carefully pull out only
the amount of webbing necessary to
comfortably wrap around the occu-
pant's mid-section. Slide the latch
plate into the buckle until you hear a
"click."
AUTOMATIC LOCKING
RETRACTOR MODE (ALR)
In this mode, the shoulder belt is au-
tomatically pre-locked. The belt will
still retract to remove any slack in the
shoulder belt. The Automatic Locking
Mode is available on rear passenger-
seating positions with a combination
lap/shoulder belt. Use the Automatic
Locking Mode anytime a child safety
seat is installed in a seating position
that has a belt with this feature. Chil-
dren 12 years old and under should
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat.How To Engage The Automatic
Locking Mode
1. Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and
pull downward until the entire belt is
extracted.
3. Allow the belt to retract. As the
belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt is
now in the Automatic Locking Mode.
How To Disengage The Automatic
Locking Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap/
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the Auto-
matic Locking Mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking
mode.

WARNING!Improper installation of a child re-
straint to the ISOFIX anchorages can
lead to failure of an infant or child
restraint. The child could be badly
injured or killed. Follow the manu-
facturer's directions exactly when in-
stalling an infant or child restraint.Installing Child Restraints Using
The Vehicle Seat Belts
The seat belts in the rear passenger
seating positions are equipped with
an Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) to secure a Child Restraint
System (CRS). These types of seat
belts are designed to keep the lap por-
tion of the seat belt tight around the
child restraint so that it is not neces-
sary to use a locking clip. The ALR
will make a ratcheting noise if you
extract the entire belt from the retrac-
tor and then allow the belt to retract
into the retractor. For additional in-
formation on ALR, refer to “Auto-
matic Locking Mode”. The chart be-
low defines the seating positions with
an Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) or a cinching latch plate.

 N/A — Not Applicable
 ALR — Automatic Locking Retrac- tor
Installing a Child Restraint with an
ALR:
1. To install a child restraint with
ALR, first, pull enough of the seat belt
webbing from the retractor to route it
through the belt path of the child re-
straint. Slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.” Next,
extract all the seat belt webbing out of
the retractor and then allow the belt to
retract into the retractor. As the belt
retracts, you will hear a ratcheting
sound. This indicates the safety belt is
now in the Automatic Locking mode.
2.
Finally, pull on any excess webbing
to tighten the lap portion around the
child restraint. Any seat belt system will
loosen with time, so check the belt oc-
casionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
 In the rear seat, you may have trouble tightening the lap/shoulder
belt on the child restraint because
the buckle or latch plate is too close
to the belt path opening on the re-
straint. Disconnect the latch plate
from the buckle and twist the short
buckle-end belt several times to
shorten it. Insert the latch plate into
the buckle with the release button
facing out.
 If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if pulling and pushing on the re-
straint loosens the belt, disconnect
the latch plate from the buckle,
turn the buckle around, and insert
the latch plate into the buckle
again. If you still can’t make the
child restraint secure, try a differ-
ent seating position.
To attach a child restraint tether
strap:
1. If lowered, raise the convertible
top.
NOTE:
The convertible top must be in the
UP position to access the tether
anchor.
43

2. Open the access port cover (A) be-
hind the seat where you are placing
the child restraint.
3. Push the tether strap and hook (B)
through the access port and down into
the trunk.
NOTE:
Route the tether strap to provide
the most direct path from the child
seat to the anchor.
4. Open the access cover (C) on the
carpet covering the back of the seat
and attach the tether strap hook (D)
to the anchor.5. Remove slack in the tether strap
according to the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions.
WARNING!
An incorrectly anchored tether strap
could lead to increased head motion
and possible injury to the child. Use
only the anchor positions directly
behind the child seat to secure a
child restraint top tether strap.
Transporting Pets
Air Bags deploying in the front seat
could harm your pet. An unrestrained
pet will be thrown about and possibly
injured, or injure a passenger during
panic braking or in a collision.
Pets should be restrained in the rear
seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers
that are secured by seat belts. ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required
for the engine and drivetrain (trans-
mission and axle) in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first
500 km. After the initial 100 km, speeds
up to 80 or 90 km/h are desirable.While cruising, brief full-throttle ac-
celeration within the limits of local
traffic laws contributes to a good
break-in. Wide-open throttle accel-
eration in low gear can be detrimental
and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine
at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil
changes should be consistent with an-
ticipated climate conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur.
For the recommended viscosity and
quality grades, refer to “Maintenance
Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle”. NON-DETERGENT OR
STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST
NEVER BE USED.

Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regard-
ing belt or retractor condition, replace
the belt.
Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on and remain
on for four to eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition switch is first
turned ON. If the light is not lit during
starting, see your authorized dealer. If
the light stays on, flickers, or comes
on while driving, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the de-
frost mode and place the blower con-
trol on high speed. You should be able
to feel the air directed against the
windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use onlyfloor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly se-
cured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your ve-
hicle in other ways.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and in-
crease the risk of serious personal
injury.
 Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the floor
mat fasteners.
 Never place or install floor mats or
other floor coverings in the vehicle
that cannot be properly secured to
prevent them from moving and
interfering with the pedals or the
ability to control the vehicle.
 Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already in-
stalled floor mats. Additional
floor mats and other coverings
will reduce the size of the pedal
area and interfere with the pedals.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Check mounting of mats on a
regular basis. Always properly re-
install and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
 Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver footwell
while the vehicle is moving. Ob-
jects can become trapped under
the brake pedal and accelerator
pedal causing a loss of vehicle
control.
 If required, mounting posts must
be properly installed, if not
equipped from the factory.
Failure to properly follow floor mat
installation or mounting can cause
interference with the brake pedal
and accelerator pedal operation
causing loss of control of the vehicle.

You cannot use the power top button
on the RKE transmitter to raise the
power convertible top. You must use
the power top switch inside the ve-
hicle to perform this operation.
Manually Raising
Raising the power convertible top
manually should only be performed
by an authorized dealer. In the event
that you experience a malfunction
when operating the power convertible
top:

Messages as described under “Power
Convertible Top Operation and Warn-
ing Messages.” If applicable, perform
the related action to correct the con-
dition present.
3. If Steps 1 and 2 do not resolve the
problem, refer to “Emergency Bypass
Mode”.
WIND STOP
The Wind Stop installs in the backseat
area of the vehicle. The Wind Stop
will not interfere with power top op-
eration. Therefore, it can remain in-
stalled when the top is up. However,
when not in use, the Wind Stop folds
to allow for convenient storage under-
neath the cargo shield in the trunk.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you lower
the convertible top before install-
ing or removing the Wind Stop.
Installing The Wind Stop
1. Remove the Wind Stop from the
trunk.
2. Unfold the Wind Stop framework.
3. Lay the small frame (1) flat on top
of the large frame (2) and snap the
two frames together by engaging the
frame lock (3).
NOTE:
The frames must lie flat on each
other in order to snap them to-
gether.
