Convertible Top (If Equipped)
Your convertible top features a sunroof, a removable
rear window and removable side windows.
NOTICE:
Never raise or lower the top while the vehicle
is moving, or drive with any part of the top
unfastened or partially removed. The wind
could get under it and cause damage.
Do not take your vehicle through an
automatic car wash. It could damage
your convertible top.
Don't try to lower or raise the convertible top
or tap or beat on the plastic windows if your
vehicle is out in cold weather, 41F (5C) or
below. The cold can cause cracks and other
damage to the windows and to the top as it is
being lowered or raised.

can cause stains, mildew and damage to the
inside of your car. Be sure to dry off the top
before you lower it.
Don't lower the convertible top if the rear
flap or side windows are dirty. Dirt could
scratch the side windows.
The convertible top isn't designed to carry
weight. Never let anyone sit on the top, and
don't put anything on top of it when it is up,
or it could be damaged.
