CAUTION
Always keep the engine running while
operating the soft top. The top will also
operate when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, but run the engine to
prevent a discharged battery.
Be sure to follow the operating instructions, and
all the warnings and cautions in this section.
Improper operation of the top could cause
a system malfunction, damage, or dete-
rioration of the top material and related
parts.
WARNING
. Park the vehicle in a safe and level
place and apply the parking brake.
. Make sure the area is clear of
obstacles and there is enough clear-
ance over the top (for example, in a
garage or a covered area). More
than approximately 6.6 ft (2 m) from
the ground is required to open or
close the top safely. Otherwise, the
top may damage any objects above
it while moving. The top operating
system could also be damaged.
. Do not operate the top in a strong
wind. It could be blown by the wind,
striking someone or damage the
top.
. Do not allow anyone to stand up or
extend any portion of their body out
of the opening while the vehicle is in
motion or while the top is being
operated.
. In an accident you could be thrown
from the vehicle with an open top.
Always use seat belts and proper
child restraints.
CAUTION
. Do not operate the top when the
temperature is below 32 8F (08C).
This may result in damage to the
top material or operating system.
. Remove water drops, snow, ice or
sand from the top, and dry the
surface of the top completely before
opening it.
. Do not open the top when it is wet
or damp. This may cause interior
water damage, stains or mildew on
the top material.
. Be sure to turn off the rear window
defroster switch. Never turn it on
while the top is being operated or
fully opened. The heat may damage
the top material.
