CAUTION

■

When opening or closing the retractable hardtop

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●

Keep hands away from the hinges and rail parts of the retractable hardtop as well

as any other part of the hardtop linkage mechanism.

●

Do not operate the retractable hardtop in strong winds.

●

Do not disconnect the battery when the retractable hardtop is partially open.

■

While the vehicle is moving

●

The vehicle should never be driven with the retractable hardtop partially open.

●

Do not allow passengers to stand on seats, sit on the package tray or lean over

the vehicle.

■

When children are in the vehicle

Do not allow children to operate the retractable hardtop.

Doing so may cause the child or another person to become caught in the retract-

able hardtop mechanism, resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Check to make sure that all passengers do

not have any part of their body in a position

where it could be caught when a retract-

able hardtop is being operated. If someone

becomes caught in the mechanism, release

the switch immediately to stop operation.

●

As parts of the trunk move, ensure that no

one is near the vehicle while the retractable

hardtop is operating.
