▷It is advisable that you close the retractable
hardtop when you park the vehicle. Not only
does the closed hardtop protect the vehicle
interior against unanticipated weather dam‐
age, it also offers theft protection. However,
even when the hardtop is closed, valuables
should only be stored in the locked cargo
area.▷Do not attach roof rack systems to the re‐
tractable hardtop, and in particular do not
attach magnetic racks.▷Do not attach rack systems to the trunk lid,
and in particular do not attach magnetic
racks.▷When the retractable hardtop is operated,
the trunk lid swings back and up.
Before operating the retractable hardtop,
ensure that there is enough clearance, e.g.,
in tight parking spaces.▷If you open the hardtop while it is wet, e.g.,
after driving in the rain, water may drip into
the cargo area.
If necessary, remove items from the cargo
area beforehand to avoid water stains or
soiling.▷At temperatures below 14 ℉/-10 ℃, the re‐
tractable hardtop cannot be moved.
