CLOSING THE TOP

2.Start the engine.

3.Depress the foot brake pedal.

4.Push CLOSE on the soft top operating switch and hold it until the top is fully closed.

The soft top indicator light will illuminate while the top is in motion. (In about 20

seconds, the closing movement will fin- ish.)

Windows will automatically be fully opened.

The passenger seatback will automatically move forward, unless the seatback tilt cancel switch is in the CANCEL position. It will return to the original position after the top operation. (See “Automatic pas- senger seatback tilt function” shown on the previous page of this section.)

IF THE TOP DOES NOT OPEN OR CLOSE ELECTRICALLY

If you cannot operate the soft top with the operating switch, first check whether all the following operating conditions are completed:

￿foot brake pedal is depressed

￿vehicle is stopped

￿ignition switch is ON (Run the engine when operating the top.)

If the top still does not move under the above conditions or has any system malfunction, see a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible. When you must close the top by yourself, in the event of emergency or when an immediate dealer service is not available, close the top manually according to the procedures shown in this section.

When closing the soft top manually:

￿Move the vehicle to a safe place, away from traffic.

￿Two people should perform this procedure, as some of the top parts are extremely heavy.

The top cannot be opened manually.

WARNING

￿Do not drive with the top partially opened.

￿If the top cannot be operated prop- erly, see a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible to have your vehicle checked.
