Occupant Weight Sensor - disabling the passenger's side front airbag
WARNING!
No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on the front passenger's seat. If a child is seated
in the front passenger's seat with any additional weight, this extra weight could cause the OWS system to enable the
airbag, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.
The seat belt should never be wrapped around an object on the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the
OWS system's function.
The front passenger's seat belt should never be used in a way that exerts more pressure on the passenger than
normal. This could increase the pressure exerted on the weight sensor by a child, and could result in the airbag being
enabled, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.
WARNING!
Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow these instructions could
adversely affect the system's function and result in serious injury to the occupant of the front passenger's seat:
The full weight of the front seat passenger should always be on the seat cushion. The passenger should never lift
him/herself off the seat cushion using the armrest in the door or the center console, by pressing the feet on the floor,
by sitting on the edge of the seat cushion, or by pressing against the backrest in a way that reduces pressure on the
seat cushion. This could cause OWS to disable the front, passenger's side airbag.
Do not place any type of object on the front passenger's seat in such a way that jamming, pressing, or squeezing
occurs between the object and the front seat, other than as a direct result of the correct use of the ALR/ELR seat belt
(see page 30
).
No objects should be placed under the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's function.

Loading the trunk
Loading the trunk with the power retractable hard top down
When the power retractable hard top is down, it is folded in the trunk. Using the button shown in the illustration above,
the folded power retractable hard top can be moved up or down slightly to facilitate loading or unloading small objects.
NOTE: This movement is part of the normal power retractable hard top operation, which means that messages
pertaining to the power retractable hard top's operation (see page 73
) also apply to the this function.
WARNING!
Anyone near the vehicle should be well clear of the power retractable hard top's moving parts before it is operated.
CAUTION!
Any objects that impede the movement of the power retractable hard top may damage the top or its mechanism.
When the power retractable hard top has been raised for loading the trunk, or if its movement has been interrupted
by pressing the button twice, the trunk should not be closed. Doing so can damage the system or cause paint damage.

The car is equipped with a florescent handle on the inside of the trunk lid, which can be used in an emergency

Pull the handle down to release the trunk lid.
After use, the handle must be pushed back into its original position before the trunk can be closed.

If the car is locked with the remote control while the power retractable hard top is down,
the double locking feature activates after approximately 30 seconds. This means that the doors cannot be unlocked or
