CONVERTIBLE TOP OPERATION — IF EQUIPPED
WARNING!
The convertible top does not provide the structural
protection that a reinforced metal roof does and the
fabric top cannot be expected to prevent the ejection
of the occupants in a collision. Therefore, it is impor-
tant that all occupants wear their seat belts at all
times. Death or serious injuries could occur if you are
ejected from the vehicle during a collision.
CAUTION!
•To insure that no damage occurs, be sure that the
vehicle is at a complete stop with the shift lever in
the NEUTRAL position before lowering or raising
the top.
•Do not operate the convertible top with ice or
snow build up on the top. Damage to the top may
occur.
To Lower the Top
1. Lower the window in each door at least 1 in (2.5 cm).
2. Lower both sun visors.
