Cleaning the Convertible Top
The convertible top should be
cleaned often. Do not use
high-pressure car washes as these
may cause water to enter the
vehicle.
Hand wash the convertible top in
partial shade. Use mild soap,
lukewarm water, and a soft sponge.
A chamois or cloth may leave lint on
the top, and a brush can chafe the
threads in the top fabric. Do not use
detergents, harsh cleaners,
solvents, or bleaching agents.
Wet the entire top and let the soap
remain on the fabric for a few
minutes. Wash evenly to avoid
spots or rings. When the top is very
dirty, use a mild foam-type cleaner.
Thoroughly rinse the entire vehicle,
then let the top dry in direct sunlight.To protect the convertible top:
.
Make sure the convertible top is
completely dry before lowering it.
. Do not get any cleaner on the
vehicle's painted finish; it could
leave streaks.

stowage bag behind the rear seat
backrests. See Rear Seats052.
. The small wind deflector can be

62 Seats and Restraints
Warning (Continued)
Wearing your seat belt during a
crash helps reduce your chance
of hitting things inside the vehicle
or being ejected from it. Airbags
are“supplemental restraints” to
the seat belts. Everyone in the
vehicle should wear a seat belt
properly, whether or not there is
an airbag for that person.
{Warning
Because airbags inflate with great
force and faster than the blink of
an eye, anyone who is up
against, or very close to, any
airbag when it inflates can be
seriously injured or killed. Do not
sit unnecessarily close to any
airbag, as you would be if sitting
on the edge of the seat or leaning
forward. Seat belts help keep you
in position before and during a
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
crash. Always wear the seat belt,
even with airbags. The driver
should sit as far back as possible
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle. The seat belts and
the front outboard passenger
airbags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat with both feet
on the floor.
Occupants should not lean on or
sleep against the door or side
windows in seating positions with
seat-mounted airbags.
{Warning
Children who are up against,
or very close to, any airbag when
it inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. Always secure children
properly in the vehicle. To read
how, seeOlder Children 073 or
Infants and Young Children 074.
There is an airbag readiness light
on the instrument cluster, which
shows the airbag symbol. The
system checks the airbag electrical
system for malfunctions. The light
tells you if there is an electrical
problem. See Airbag Readiness
Light 0103.
Where Are the Airbags?

regulates voltage based on the state
of the battery. The battery voltage
can fluctuate while viewing this
information on the DIC. This is
normal. See Charging System Light
0 104.Vehicle Messages
