Cleaning the Convertible Top
The convertible top should be cleaned often.
Do not use high-pressure car washes as
these may cause water to enter the vehicle.
Hand wash the convertible top in partial
shade. Use mild soap, lukewarm water, and
a soft sponge. A chamois or cloth may leave
lint on the top, and a brush can chafe the
threads in the top fabric. Do not use
detergents, harsh cleaners, solvents,
or bleaching agents.
Wet the entire top and let the soap remain
on the fabric for a few minutes. Wash
evenly to avoid spots or rings. When the
top is very dirty, use a mild foam-type
cleaner. Thoroughly rinse the entire vehicle,
then let the top dry in direct sunlight.
To protect the convertible top:
. Make sure the convertible top is
completely dry before lowering it.
. Do not get any cleaner on the vehicle's
painted finish; it could leave streaks.

Service
All vehicles have a label underhood that
identifies the refrigerant used in the vehicle.
The refrigerant system should only be
serviced by trained and certified technicians.
The air conditioning evaporator should never
be repaired or replaced by one from a
salvage vehicle. It should only be replaced
by a new evaporator to ensure proper and
safe operation.
During service, all refrigerants should be
reclaimed with proper equipment. Venting
refrigerants directly to the atmosphere is
harmful to the environment and may also
create unsafe conditions based on
inhalation, combustion, frostbite, or other
health-based concerns.
