WARNING
.Never install a cover or film (for
example window tint) on the sky-
light glass. This may cause the dual
pop-up roll bars to operate impro-
perly and could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a
rollover. (see “Dual pop-up roll bar
system (CrossCabriolet models)” in
the “1. Safety — Seats, seat belts
and supplemental restraint system”
section.)

top material or operating system.
. Remove water drops, snow, ice or
sand from the top, and dry the
surface of the top completely before
opening it.
. Do not open the top when it is wet
or damp. This may cause interior
water damage, stains or mildew on
the top material.
. Be sure to turn off the rear window
defroster switch. Never turn it on
while the top is being operated or
fully opened. The heat may damage
the top material.

.Do not place anything in the top
storage area. The top will not fit
there properly, and this could da-
mage the top and/or the vehicle
body.
. Do not sit or place anything on the
top, rear parcel shelf, inner flaps,
storage lid and trunk lid, especially
when the top is being operated. The
top may be damaged.
. Do not drive the vehicle with the top
partially opened. Always make sure
the top is either fully opened or
closed before driving.
. Secure items so that they cannot be
blown from the vehicle while driving
with the top open.
. Do not operate the top manually
except for emergency cases. Manual
operation may damage the top.
. Be sure to fully open or fully close
the top. Do not release the switch
half way through the roof opening
or closing process. If the top is only
partially opened, significant da-
mage to the top could occur.

pop-up roll bars have been acti- vated. Extended dual pop-up roll
bars may interfere with top opera-
tion and could cause damage to the
top or the vehicle body.
Make sure the trunk lid is securely closed before
operating the top.
