The MAIN switch controls power to
the passenger's window. With this
switch off,
the passenger's window
cannot
be raised or lowered. The
MAIN switch does not affect the
driver's window. Keep
the MAIN
switch off when you have a child in
the car so the child does not
get
injured by operating the window
unintentionally.

The convertible top on your Honda
lowers and raises electrically.
Before operating the convertible top,
make sure the car is parked on level
ground, and that there is enough
clearance above the top.

whenever you park the car. This
helps to protect the car from
unexpected weather changes, and
from theft of your valuables.
