I think what you are trying to say is you don't start your engine just to move your top.

The car doesn't have to be running... just have to have the key turned all the way.

BTW, IMO, this is Honda's lawyers talking.

Is it just me or does the top seem slower when the engine is off? Occasionally, I forget to put the top up before shutting off the car and it always seems slower than normal. Any thoughts?

Honda has advised that you operate the top ONLY when the engine if off?

I've done it this way for over three years and haven't had any issues.
