Wind Stop
•The Wind Stop installs in the backseat area of the vehicle.The Wind Stop will not interfere with
power top operation.Therefore, it can remain installed when the top is up.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior water damage, stains or mildew on
the top material:
•Avoid high-pressure car washes, as they can damage the top material.Also, increased
water pressure may force water past the weather strips.
• Remove any standing water from the top and dry the surface before opening it.
Operating the top, opening a door or lowering a window while the top is wet may
allow water to drip into the vehicles interior.
• Use care when washing the vehicle, water pressure directed at the weather strip
seals may cause water to leak into the vehicles interior.
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 important 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.
WIND BUFFETING
•Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting occurs with

COLD WEATHER OPERATION (Engine Block Heater)
Engine Block Heater
•To prevent possible engine damage while starting at low temperatures, this vehicle will inhibit
engine cranking when the ambient temperature is less than –22° F (–30° C) and the oil
temperature sensor reading indicates an engine block heater has not been used.An
externally-powered electric engine block heater is available as optional equipment or from your
authorized dealer.
• The message "plug in engine heater" will be displayed in the instrument cluster when the
ambient temperature is below 5° F (–15° C) at the time the engine is shut off as a reminder to
avoid possible crank delays at the next cold start.
If Engine Fails To Start
CAUTION!
•Use of the recommended SAE 5W-30 oil and adhering to the prescribed oil change
intervals is important to prevent engine damage and ensure satisfactory starting in
cold conditions.
• Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.Vehicles equipped with
an automatic transmission cannot be started this way. Unburned fuel could enter the
catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter
and vehicle.
• To prevent damage to the starter, do not continuously crank the engine for more
than 15 seconds at a time.Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the throttle body air inlet opening in
an attempt to start the vehicle.This could result in a flash fire causing serious personal
