68 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE CONVERTIBLE TOP OPERATION WARNING! Before operating the switch for the convertible top, make sure that no persons can be injured by the moving parts (convertible top frame and tonneau cover). Hands must never be placed near the sport bar, convertible top frame, upper windshield area, shelf behind sport bar, or convertible top storage compartment while the convertible top is being raised or lowered. Serious personal injury may occur. If potential danger exists, release the convertible top switch. This immediately interrupts the raising or lowering procedure. You then can operate the convertible top switch to raise or lower the convertible top away from the danger zone. WARNING! The convertible top does not provide the structural protection that a reinforced metal roof does and the fabric top cannot be expected to prevent the ejection of the occupants of a vehicle in a collision. Therefore, it is important that all occupants wear their seat belts at all times when riding in a convertible. Studies have shown that it is generally safer to remain inside a vehicle during a collision than to be ejected from the vehicle. For safety reasons, the convertible top should only be opened and closed when the vehicle is standing still. Top operation is allowed up to a maximum of 9 mph (15 km/h). Above this speed, top operation will cease and an audible warning will sound. The top operation can be resumed after the vehicle is below the maximum speed by pressing the convertible top switch again.
