Power Windows The ignition must be switched ON for the
power windows to operate.
WARNING 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.
CAUTION To prevent burning out the fuse and
damaging the power window system,
do not open or close both windows at
once.
NOTE
A power window may no longer open/close
if you continue to press the switch after
opening/closing the power window. If the
power window does not open/close, wait a
moment and then operate the switch again. Operating the Power Windows NOTE 

the roof with water. Otherwise, water may enter the cabin.
Refer to Retractable Fastback Maintenance on page 6-66 .
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.
