When Operating the TOP | Nissan Z33-D specification

vehicle body.

Do not place anything in the top stor- age area. The top will not fit there properly, and this could damage the top and/or the vehicle body.

Do not sit or place excessive weight on the top and the storage lid, espe- cially 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.

When a child restraint is installed in the passenger seat, be sure to turn the seatback tilt cancel switch (lo- cated on the passenger seatback) to the CANCEL position, or the child restraint may be damaged.

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 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 tempera- ture, the top may temporarily stop mov- ing during the operation. This functions to protect the top control mechanism, and it is not a malfunction.

If the top is opened and closed repeat- edly in a short period of time, it may stop moving to protect the top motor. Wait for a few minutes before operating the top again.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments 3-15
