5. If the red indicator is visible on the
lock release button, the convertible top
is not locked. After locking the
convertible top, verify that the red
indicator is not visible.
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.
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” for more information).

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.
