Precautions for opening/closing the retractable hardtop

●

Before operating the retractable hardtop, make sure that the areas 2.3 ft. (70

cm) above the roof and 1.2 ft. (35 cm) behind the rear bumper is clear of obstruc-

tions.

●

Do not put any items or packages on the package tray even if they are extremely

small.

●

Do not store luggage on or allow anyone to sit on the retractable hardtop.

●

When the outside temperature is -4³F (-20³C) or below or if the side windows

are frozen shut, do not open or close the retractable hardtop.

●

When opening or closing the retractable hardtop, turn the rear window defog-

gers off.

●

Do not leave the vehicle for an extended period of time with an open or close

operation incomplete.

●

Do not open the trunk lid while the retractable hardtop is operating.

●

If the retractable hardtop is operated repeatedly within a short period of time, the

motor protection circuit may activate, causing the roof switch to be disabled. In

this case, turn the °ENGINE START STOP± switch to ACCESSORY mode or off

and, after waiting for a while, perform the procedure again.

●

Do not place anything on or under the luggage cover.

●

The luggage cover should be attached securely. Protruding luggage may inter-

fere with the proper operation of the retractable hardtop.

To prevent battery discharge

Do not operate the retractable hardtop repeatedly when the engine is off.
