BEFORE OPERATING THE TOP
The soft top of this vehicle is electrically
operated. You can fully open or close the
top only by pressing the operating switch
located on the center console.
The soft top operating switch must be
operated under all of the following con- ditions:
.
When the trunk is closed.
. When the vehicle is stopped.
. When the engine is running.
. When the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
. When the shift lever is in a position
other than the R (Reverse) position.CAUTION
Always keep the engine running
while operating the soft top. The
top will also operate when the igni- tion switch is in the ON position, but
run the engine to prevent a dis-
charged battery.
Be sure to follow the operating instruc-
tions, and all the warnings and cautions in
this section. Improper operation of the
top could cause a system malfunction,
damage, or deterioration of the top
material and related parts.
WARNING
. Park the vehicle in a safe and
level place and apply the parking
brake.
. Make sure the area is clear of
obstacles and there is enough
clearance over the top (for exam-
ple, in a garage or a covered
area). More than approximately
6.6 ft (2 m) from the ground is
required to open or close the top
safely. Otherwise, the top may
damage any objects above it
while moving. The top operating
system could also be damaged.
. Do not operate the top in a strong
wind. It could be blown by the
wind, striking someone or da-
mage the top.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-23
SOFT TOP (Roadster models)

3-24Pre-driving checks and adjustments
.Do not allow anyone to stand up
or extend any portion of their
body out of the opening while
the vehicle is in motion or while
the top is being operated.
. In an accident you could be
thrown from the vehicle with an
open top. Always use seat belts
and proper child restraints.
CAUTION
.Do not operate the top when the
temperature is below 32°F (0°C).
This may result in damage to the
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 mate- rial.SPA2691
CAUTION
.
Do not place any objects between
the top cloth and the structure.
Doing so could interfere with top
operation and cause damage to
the top operating system or the
objects.
. Do not place anything on the top
and the storage lid. Even small
items may interfere with the top
operation and could cause da-
mage to the top or the vehicle
body.

.Do not place anything in the top
storage area. The top will not fit
there properly, and this could
damage the top and/or the vehi-
cle body.
. Do not sit or place excessive
weight on the top and the sto-
rage 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 open-
ing or closing process. If the top is
only partially opened, significant
damage to the top could occur.
Make sure the trunk lid is securely closed
before operating the top.

WHEN OPERATING THE TOP
WARNING
Keep hands and other parts of the
body away from moving parts such
as the top, storage lid, side flap
and power windows.
CAUTION
Keep all parts of the top linkage clear
of obstructions, or the top latch may
not be securely locked. NOTE:
.
In case of low battery or low tem-
perature, the top may temporarily
stop moving during the operation.
This functions to protect the top
control mechanism, and it is not a
malfunction.
. If the top is opened and closed
repeatedly in a short period of time
or the top operation is stopped while
opening or closing, the top opera-
tion may be automatically stopped
to protect the system. Wait for ap-
proximately 5 minutes before oper-
ating the top again.

ment panel shows the conditions of top
operation. The light illuminates when the
soft top is being operated or if it is
stopped before reaching the fully opened
or closed position. When the top is fully
opened or closed, the light will turn off.
The light blinks while the soft top is not
fully opened or closed under the following
conditions:

erly. Have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
