IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROPERLY
SEATED.
• A driver or front passenger sitting too close to the
steering wheel or instrument panel during air bag
deployment can be seriously injured or killed.
• Air bags inflate very quickly and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not properly
seated and restrained, the air bag may not provide
the proper protection and can cause serious inju-
ries or death when it inflates.
• To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death due to a deploying driver’s air bag, always
properly wear your seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible, maintaining a
position that still allows the driver to have good
control of the steering wheel, brake, accelerator,
and other vehicle controls.
• To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious
injury or death from a deploying passenger’s air
bag, make sure the passenger always wears the
seat belt properly, remains seated upright and all
the way back in the seat, and positions the seat as
far back as possible.
WA R N I N G
!
Air bags inflate very quickly and with great force.
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean your head
or chest close to the steering wheel or the instrument
panel.
Do not put your feet or legs on or against the instru-
ment panel.

The top can be opened and closed using the switches. The top
moves only while a switch is being pushed.NOTE
If the OPEN switch and CLOSE switch are both pushed at
the same time, the operation indicator lamp will flash
slowly (approximately one flashes per second) and a tone
will sound intermittently and rapidly (approximately three
per second) to indicate that the top is not going to work.
To operate the top, release the switches and push the rele-
vant switch again.
If the switches are continuously pushed one after the
other, a protection circuit may operate, making the electric
convertible top temporarily inoperable. In this event, the
operation indicator lamp will flash slowly (approximately
one flash per second) and a tone will sound intermittently
(approximately three times per second). Wait about 7 min-
utes, then try operating the electric convertible top again.
To open the top
N00505200031

(PARK) position. If the vehicle has a manual transaxle,
place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.NOTE
The top can be operated with the selector lever of an auto-
matic transaxle in a position other than “P” (PARK) and
with the gearshift lever of a manual transaxle in a position
other than “N” (Neutral). For safety, however, you should
place the selector lever or gearshift lever (as relevant) in
the indicated position and apply the parking brake.
