Retractable hardtop operation control linked to the intuitive parking
assist (vehicles with an intuitive parking assist)
This function detects if there is an ob struction behind the vehicle and reg-
ulates retractable hardtop operation according to the vehicle’s distance
from that obstruction.
This function is merely de signed to assist the driver and is not a guarantee
of the safety of the ar ea behind the vehicle. The driver should always
check the vehicle’s surroundings with their own eyes before operating the
retractable hardtop.
■ Operation controls according to each detection area
Area within approximately
1.2 ft. (35 cm) of the vehicle
Area approximately
1.2 ft. (35 cm) to 1.5 ft. (45 cm)
away from the vehicle
Areas within approximately
0.8 ft. (25 cm) of the vehicle
Areas approximately
0.8 ft. (25 cm) to
1.3 ft. (37.5 cm) away from the
vehicle
This function only operates in the
areas indicated in the illustration.
Therefore, obstructions too close
to the sensors cannot be detected.
●If an obstruction is d etected in area or when the switch is oper-
ated
A buzzer will sound and a message will be shown in the multi-informa-
tion display to alert the driver.
If the switch is held up or down for 3 seconds while the message is being dis-
played, retractable hardtop operation will start normally.

Before driving
●If an obstruction is d etected in area or when the switch is oper-
ated
A buzzer will sound twice and a messa ge will be shown in the multi-
information display. Retractable hardtop operation will not activate.
If the switch is released and then oper ated again within 2 seconds, the buzzer
will sound again and a message will be sh own in the multi-information display
to alert the driver. If the switch is he ld up or down for 3 seconds, retractable
hardtop operation will start normally.
If an obstruction is detected in area or while the trunk lid is operat-
ing, a buzzer will sound twice and a message will be shown in the multi-
information display. Retractable hard top operation will be suspended for
safety reasons.
Ensure that no obstructions are near the vehicle and then operate the
switch again.
■Operating conditions
●The vehicle is stopped.
●The engine is running. (Operation while the engine is not running is possible if
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode, but for optimal
operation the engine should be running.)
●The trunk lid is closed.
●The trunk opener main switch is on. ( P. 5 1 )
●The luggage cover in the trunk is properly set. ( P. 8 7 )
When the vehicle is on an incline or an uneven surface, the retractable hardtop may
not activate properly.
If the intuitive parking assist detect an obstruction behind the vehicle, the retract-
able hardtop may not operate.
■Switch operation when the operating conditions are not met
Even if all of the operating conditions are not met, when the switch is operated with
the vehicle stopped and the retractable hardtop fully closed, the following opera-
tions can be performed:
●Holding the switch up closes all the side windows.
●Holding the switch down op ens all the side windows.

●This function will activate when th e intuitive parking assist is on. (P. 3 7 1 )
●Once the trunk lid has been fully opened, this function will be disabled.
●The trunk lid can be closed even when an obstruction is detected by operating
the retractable hardtop operation sw itch in the opposite direction.
■If the intuitive parking assist is dirty or malfunctioning
If a message is shown in the multi-information display indicating that a sensor is mal-
functioning or needs to be cleaned, th e retractable hardtop cannot be operated
normally. To start retractable hardtop operation, turn the intuitive parking assist off
and operate the switch for the retractable hardtop again, or hold the switch up or

When driving
Selecting shift ranges in the D positionTo drive using temporary shift range se lection, operate the “-” shift paddle
switch. The shift range can then be selected by operating the “-” and “+”
shift paddle switches. Changing the sh ift range allows restriction of the
upper limit of the gears to be used, preventing unnecessary upshifting
and enabling the level of engine braking force to be selected.
Higher shift range
Lower shift range
The selected shift range, from 1 to
6, will be displayed in the meter
cluster.
To return to normal D position
driving, the “+” sh ift paddle switch
must be held down for a period of
time.

When driving
Changing shift ranges in S modeTo enter S mode, shift the shift lever to the S position. The shift range can
then be selected by operating the “-” and “+” shift paddle switches or the
shift lever. Changing the shift range al lows restriction of the upper limit of
the gears to be used, preventing unnecessary upshifting and enabling the
level of engine braking force to be selected.
Higher shift range
Lower shift range
The selected shift range, from 1 to
6, will be displayed in the meter
cluster.
The initial shift range in S mode is auto matically set to 5 or 4 according to
vehicle speed. However, the initial shift range may be set to 3 or 2 if the
AI-SHIFT has operated while the shift lever was in the D position.
