filler door, and opens the trunk lid with
the slow and careful push of a button .
The Keyless Entry System allows the
driver to START/STOP the ignition with
the push of a button as long as the key
fob is in the passenger compartment.
If equipped, the Vehicle Security Alarm
System may be armed/disarmed with
the push of the lock/unlock button
located on the key fob.

If you have a problem with the key fob,
or the key fob is lost or stolen, contact
an Authorized Dealership as soon as
possible for a replacement and to make
the lost or stolen key fob inoperative. Note:
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
Note:
The Keyless Entry System
operational range may vary due to
local weather conditions.
The Keyless Entry System is fully
operational (door/trunk lid/fuel filler
door lock/unlock) when the ignition is
placed in the OFF position. The
Keyless Entry System does not
operate if the ignition is placed to any
position other than the OFF position.
If the key fob does not operate
when pushing a button, the operational
range becomes too small, or warning
light may not illuminate or flash the
battery may be weak or discharged. To
install a new battery, refer to “Key Fob
Battery Replacement.”
Battery life is about one year.
Replace the battery with a new one if
the
Warning light (green) flashes in
the instrument cluster. Replacing the
battery about once a year is
recommended because the
Warning light may not illuminate or
flash if the battery is low or discharged.
Additional key fobs may be
obtained at an Authorized Dealership.
Up to six key fobs may be used with
the Keyless Entry System per vehicle.
Bring all key fobs to an Authorized
Dealership when additional keys are
required.

IGNITION SWITCH
Push Button Start
Positions
The system operates only when the key
fob is within operational range.
Each time the keyless ignition
START/STOP button is pushed, the
ignition cycles in the order of OFF, ACC,
and ON. Pushing the START/STOP
button again from ON position cycles
the ignition to the OFF position.
Note:
The engine starts by pushing the

transmission, the gear selector is in the
P position, and the ignition is in ACC),
the ignition cycles to the OFF position
automatically after about 25 minutes.
OFF
The power supply to electrical devices
turns off and the keyless ignition start
indicator light (amber) also turns off. In
the OFF position, the steering wheel is
locked.
ACC (Accessory)
Some electrical accessories will operate
and the indicator light (amber)
illuminates. In the ACC position, the
steering wheel is unlocked.
The Keyless Entry System does not
function while the keyless ignition has
been placed in the ACC position, and
the doors will not lock/unlock even if
they have been locked manually.
ON
This is the normal running position after
the engine is started. Note:
The indicator light (amber) turns off (the
indicator light amber illuminates when
the ignition has been placed in the ON
position and the engine is not running).
Some indicator lights/warning lights
should be inspected before the engine
is started.
When the keyless ignition has been
placed in the ON position, the sound of
the fuel pump motor operating near the
fuel tank can be heard. This does not
indicate an abnormality.
Warning!
Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the parking brake. Always
apply the parking brake fully when parked
to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the transmission gear
selector.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Caution!
Driving with the convertible top not fully
locked could damage the convertible top.
Note:
Do not spray water directly near the
seam of the window and convertible
top when flushing away dirt on the soft
top with water. Otherwise, water may
enter the vehicle (refer to “Convertible
Top Maintenance” in “Maintenance
And Care” chapter).
The convertible top may be
constricted if it is left retracted for a
long period. Therefore, if the top has
become constricted, it may be difficult
to hook the top latch striker to the
anchor.
Make sure the convertible top is
securely locked by pushing up on it. If
it still sounds loose (rattles) after being
locked by the top latch, contact an
Authorized Dealer.
Convertible Top
Precautions
Remove leaves or other debris that
may accumulate on and around the
convertible top. If leaves or other debris
block the drain filter, water may enter
the vehicle. Clean the drain filter at least
once a year.
Before lowering or raising the
convertible top, stop in a safe place off
of the road and park on a level surface.
When lowering the convertible top,
make sure objects inside the vehicle are
not blown away by the wind.
Secure all loose objects inside before
driving with the convertible top down.
To help prevent theft or vandalism
and to ensure that the passenger
compartment stays dry, close the
convertible top securely and lock both
doors when leaving the vehicle.
The soft top is made of high quality
material and if it is not maintained
correctly, the material could harden,
becomes stained, or have an uneven
gloss.
Lowering the convertible top while
it's wet can also cause water to drip
into the cabin.
The power windows go down
automatically in conjunction with the
convertible top opening/closing.
However, this is a function for improving
the operability, and it does not mean
there is a problem. If the vehicle battery
is disconnected for vehicle maintenance
or other reasons, the power windows
will not go down automatically. If the
power windows do not go down, the
automatic open/close mechanism for
the windows must be reset.
The windblocker reduces the amount
of wind coming into the cabin from
behind when driving with the
convertible top opened.
Before starting the vehicle make sure
the convertible top is correctly locked.

BRAKE SYSTEM
This vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through
normal use. Should power-assist fail,
you can stop by applying greater force
than normal to the brake pedal. But the
distance required to stop will be greater
than usual.
Note:
Always depress the brake pedal with
the right foot. Applying the brakes with
the unaccustomed left foot could slow
your reaction time to an emergency
situation resulting in insufficient braking
operation.
Do not drive with your foot held on the
clutch pedal or brake pedal, or hold the
clutch pedal depressed halfway
unnecessarily. Doing so could result in
the following:
The clutch and brake parts will wear
out more quickly.
The brakes can overheat and
adversely affect brake performance.
