Power Windows
The windows can be opened/closed by
operating the power window switches.
WA R N I N G
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing a window:
Closing a power window is dangerous. A
person's hands, head, or even neck could
be caught by the window and result in
serious injury or even death. This warning
applies especially to children.
Never allow children to play with power
window switches:
Power window switches that are not locked
with the power window lock switch would
allow children to operate power windows
unintentionally, which could result in
serious injury if a child's hands, head or
neck becomes caught by the window.
Make sure nothing bloc ks the window just
before it reaches the fully closed position or
while fully holding up the power window
switch:
Blocking the power window just before it
reaches the fully closed position or while
fully holding up the power window switch
is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function cannot
prevent the window from closing all the
way. If fingers are caught, serious injuries
could occur.

Children should not be allowed to play with the retractable hardtop switch.
 Do not place objects or cargo around the rear r oof, rear glass, or the front roof storage area.
Even small objects may interfere and cause damage.
 Remove leaves that accumulate on and around the roof. If the leaves are not removed, they
may block the water drainage outlets.
 Before opening the roof, make sure the rear window defogger switch (Defroster) is turned
off. Otherwise the heat generated from the defogger could damage the roof and the
internal material.
 When opening/closing the roof, verify that there is no obstruction above the roof (about 1.6
m (5 ft 2 in) from the ground) so as not to damage the roof or the obstruction.
 When opening/closing the roof, do not apply any load to the front roof or the rear roof. The
opening/closing mechanism of the roof may be damaged.
 Do not spray water directly near the seam of the window and roof when washing
off dirt on
the roof with water. Otherwise, water may enter the cabin.
Refer to Convertible Top (Retractable Hardtop) Maintenance on page 6-61.
 Open/close the roof with the vehicle parked on a hard, level ground in a safe place where
the vehicle does not obstruct traffic. If the roof is opened/closed on a slope or bump, the
opening/closing mechanism of the roof may be damaged.
 Do not drive through an automatic car wash as it may damage the roof.
 Do not open or close the roof forcefully when the ambient temperature is low and the roof
or the surrounding area is frozen as it could damage the roof.
 Opening the roof while it is wet can also cause water to drip into the passenger
compartment.
 Do not open or close the roof in a strong wind as it could damage the roof.
