Keys, Doors, and Windows 33
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light comes on briefly when
the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the
security light stays on, there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and
the key appears to be undamaged
or the light continues to stay on, try
another ignition key.
If the engine still does not start with
the other key, the vehicle needs
service. If the vehicle does start, the
first key may be damaged. See your
dealer who can service the
theft-deterrent system and have a
new key made.

device that disarms or deactivates
the theft-deterrent system in the
vehicle.Exterior Mirrors
Convex Mirrors

A convex mirror can make things,
like other vehicles, look farther
away than they really are. If you
cut too sharply into the right lane,
you could hit a vehicle on the
right. Check the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex
shaped. A convex mirror's surface is
curved so more can be seen from
the driver seat.

At this time the vehicle can be
driven, however the convertible
top is not latched at the rear
and will not be completely
waterproof. See your dealer to
service the convertible top
system.
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.
Wind Deflectors
There are two wind deflectors in a
stowage bag behind the rear seat
backrests. See Rear Seats052.
. The small wind deflector can be
placed between the rear head
restraints. .
The large wind deflector can be
placed behind the front seats.
Do not place any objects on the
wind deflectors.
Installing the Small Wind Deflector
1. Remove the cover from the mount between the rear head
restraints by sliding it toward
the driver side of the vehicle.

66 Seats and Restraints
Warning (Continued)
Use caution if you should attempt
to restart the engine after a crash
has occurred.
In many crashes severe enough to
inflate the airbag, windshields are
broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage may
also occur from the front outboard
passenger airbag.
. Airbags are designed to inflate
only once. After an airbag
inflates, you will need some new
parts for the airbag system.
If you do not get them, the
airbag system will not be there
to help protect you in another
crash. A new system will include
airbag modules and possibly
other parts. The service manual
for the vehicle covers the need
to replace other parts. .
The vehicle has a crash sensing
and diagnostic module which
records information after a
crash. See Vehicle Data
Recording and Privacy 0281
and Event Data Recorders
0 281.
. Let only qualified technicians
work on the airbag system.
Improper service can mean that
the airbag system will not work
properly. See your dealer for
service.
Roll Bars
{Warning
Vehicle rollovers are
unpredictable and dangerous
events that may result in injury or
death regardless of the roll bar or
any other feature. No feature can
fully protect an occupant in every
crash, including a rollover. The roll bars are under covers
behind the rear head restraints. The
roll bars are designed to deploy if
the sensing system predicts that the
vehicle is about to roll over on its
side. In addition, the roll bars are
designed to deploy in moderate to
severe side crashes depending on
the location of the impact, as well as
in a severe frontal impact. Roll bars
are not designed to deploy in rear
impacts.
The roll bars deploy with the
convertible top open or closed. If the
roll bars deploy, do not operate the
convertible top.
Do not place any objects on the
covers of the roll bars behind the
head restraints.
Have the roll bars checked if the
vehicle has been in a crash, or if the
airbag readiness light stays on after
starting or driving the vehicle. See
Airbag Readiness Light
0103.
