qDetachable Hardtop Precautions
WARNING
Sit in the seat with the seat belt
correctly fastened when the vehicle is
moving:
Standing in the vehicle, or sitting on
the deck or center console when the
vehicle is moving is a dangerous way
to ride. During a sudden maneuver or
collision you could be seriously
injured or even killed.
Always drive safely and observe the
speed limit:
Rollover accidents on a hardtop
vehicle are dangerous. The hardtop is
not as strong as a regular steel roof.
Rollover accidents could dislodge or
crush the hardtop and cause serious
injuries or even death, just as with no
top or the convertible top.
Always keep your hands and fingers
away from the fastening mechanisms
when moving the hardtop:
It is dangerous to place your hands or
fingers near the fastening
mechanisms. Your hands or fingers
could be caught and injured by the
mechanism.

When removing or installing the
hardtop, make sure the operation is
performed by 2 adults.

Before removing or installing the
hardtop, be sure you are parked out of
traffic in a flat area near the location
your hardtop is to be stored.

objects inside the vehicle are not blown
away by wind.

Secure all loose objects inside before
driving with the hardtop removed.

Do not drive through an automatic car
wash as it could damage the hardtop.
l
Do not remove or install the hardtop in
a strong wind as it could damage the
hardtop or cause an unexpected
