Improper operation of the top could cause a system malfunction, damage, or deterio- ration 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 ob- stacles and there is enough clear- ance over the top (for example, 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
