EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT If you drive your vehicle without the retractable hardtop closed fully, a beep continues sounding. After you stop your vehicle in a safe place, immediately either open or close the retractable hardtop fully. Indicator status and retractable hardtop activation: Indicator status On Blink Off Retractable hardtop activation Partially opened Inoperative Fully opened or fully closed CAUTION To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the following: D When opening or closing the retractable hardtop, make sure there is no person around there. D When opening or closing the retractable hardtop, keep hands away from the hinges of the hardtop side rails and any part of the hardtop linkage mechanism. D Do not stop operating the switch in the middle of operation unless otherwise required. The roof will be gradually lowered, resulting in personal injury and damage to the hardtop mechanism. D Do not open or close the retractable hardtop when the wind is strong. D The vehicle should never be driven with the retractable hardtop partially opened. Make sure the hardtop has been either fully opened or fully closed before driving. D While the vehicle is moving with the retractable hardtop opened, nobody should stand up on the seat, sit on the package tray or lean over it. Otherwise, they could be seriously injured if the vehicle stops suddenly or if the vehicle is involved in an accident. The indicator blinks only while the switch is pushed. If the indicator blinks with the switch pushed, and the retractable hardtop does not activate, see "Conditions for retractable hardtop activation" on page 80 and 81. 82
