Automatic power top
General information
The power top opens and closes automat ica l­
l y . The ent ire power top is s tored in the power
top compartment. The power top may be
opened or closed at speeds up to 30 mph
(SO km/h).
Under normal conditions, the power top is
wind and w aterproof. In rare cases, small
drop lets of water may form under extreme
weather conditions such as torrential or pro­ longed rain. That is norma l and no cause for
concern.
F ollow the care instr uctions to keep the roo f
from leak ing and to maintai n its appearance
over time
c::> page 184, Vehicle care and
cleaning.
Also observe the following:
- Only open and store the power top when it is
clean a nd dry . Sharp dirt particles can cause
damage to the rear window and the power
top. If the power top is stored when damp,
dents can form . If left stored for a long per i­
od of t ime, mildew and other damage can
develop .
- Do not leave the power top open for several
weeks or the creases in it may become dis­

_& WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (convex or spheri­
cal*) increase your field of view. Remem­
ber that vehicles or other objects will ap­
pear smaller and farther away than when
seen in a flat mirror. If you use this mirror
to estimate distances of following vehicles
when changing lanes, you could estimate
incorrectly and cause an accident .
