KEYS AND DOORS NOTICE D When opening or closing the retractable hardtop, make sure there is nothing above the vehicle. D Make sure there are no items or packages in the package tray when opening or closing the retractable hardtop. Even small items may interfere with the retractable hardtop operation and can cause damage. D Do not sit or place excessive weight on the retractable hardtop when the hardtop is operating. Damage to the hardtop may occur. D Do not open or close the retractable hardtop when the temperature is below -20_C (-4_F), or the side windows or quarter windows cannot be opened because they are frozen. Damage to the hardtop, rear window or quarter windows may result. If it is necessary to do so, warm the vehicle in a heated garage prior to operating the retractable hardtop mechanism. D Do not open the retractable hardtop if the hardtop is damp or wet. Possible interior water damage, water stains or mildew on the hardtop material may result. D When the retractable hardtop is completely opened, keep the rear window defogger turned off to avoid damage to the hardtop. D Do not open the trunk when the retractable hardtop is not closed or opened fully. The opened trunk may not be closed. D Do not open or close the retractable hardtop repeatedly within a short time. If the motor prevention circuit activates, the retractable hardtop operation is disabled. In this case, turn the ignition switch off and operate the switch again after a while. D Do not place anything on the luggage cover. Doing so could interfere with the retractable hardtop opening and damage its mechanism. D The luggage should be loaded with the cover closed securely. Otherwise the retractable hardtop opening could be interfered and its mechanism could be damaged. INFORMATION D Do not operate the retractable hardtop when the vehicle is on the incline or gets on the step. The retractable hardtop may not activate properly. D If you operate the "OPEN/CLOSE" switch after the ignition switch is turned to off and then on with the retractable hardtop opened partially, it takes several seconds before activation. This does not indicate a malfunction. D When you open or close the retractable hardtop, audio sound is automatically adjusted. For details, see page 168. 83 SC430 through December 2001 Production
