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.
It is advisable to raise the top
whenever you park the car. This
helps to protect the car from
unexpected weather changes, and
from theft of your valuables.
NOTICE
• Do not operate the convertible top in
freezing weather. You can damage
the material and mechanism
of the
convertible top.
• Do not operate the top if it is wet,
dirty, or covered with ice or snow.
• Never drive the car with the
convertible top
half open.
• Do not lower or raise the top while
the engine
is running.
• Do not operate the convertible top if
the car is raised on the jack, a hoist,
or on jack stands.
Lowering the Convertible Top
Park your car in the shade whenever
possible. Extended exposure to sunlight can
cause the convertible top to
deteriorate.
1. Apply the parking brake. The
convertible top will not operate
unless
the parking brake is fully
engaged.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

Accessories and Modifications
Modifying your car, or installing
some non-Honda accessories, can
make your car unsafe. Before you
make any modifications or add any
accessories, be sure to read the
following information.
Accessories
Your dealer has Genuine Honda
accessories that allow you to
personalize your car.
These
accessories have been designed and
approved for your car, and are
covered by warranty.
Non-Honda accessories are usually
designed for universal applications.
Although aftermarket accessories
may fit on your car, they may not
meet factory specifications, and
could adversely affect your car's
handling and stability. (See
"Modifications" on the page 123 for
additional information.)
122 Before Driving
Improper accessories or
modifications can affect your
car's
handling, stability and
performance, and cause a
crash
in which you can be hurt
or
killed.
Follow all
instructions in this
owner's
manual regarding
accessories and modifications.
When properly installed, cellular
phones, alarms, two-way radios, and
low-powered audio systems should
not interfere with your car's
computer-controlled systems, such
as the
SRS and anti-lock brake
system. However,
if electronic
accessories
are improperly installed, or exceed
your car's electrical system capacity,
they can interfere with the operation
of your car, or even cause the
airbags to deploy.
Before installing any accessory:
• Make sure the accessory does not
obscure any lights,
or interfere
with proper car operation or
performance.
• Be sure electronic accessories do
not overload electrical circuits
(see page 231).
• Have the installer contact your
Honda dealer for assistance before
installing any electronic accessory.
If possible, have your dealer inspect
the final installation.
