No. It will kill your paintwork.

Personally I would handwash. I'm just against car washes full stop as the do terrible damage the paint work.

When I had my MR2 roadster I never went through a car wash.

The user manual should state weather it is safe or not.

Well the carwash would be fine, the roof however might collapse ;)
