TOP OPERATION

Coupe Top

Your coupe has a removable roof panel.
Until you are sure you can remove the
panel alone, have someone help you.
To Remove the Top:
There are two latches on the front part
of the panel and one latch in the middle
rear of the panel.
1. Lower the windows.
2. Pull down and turn the front handles
to release the front latches.
3. To unlock the rear of the panel, press
the Latch Release button and pull
down the latch.
4. Lift the front edge of the panel up and
forward out of the vehicle opening.
Once removed, the roof panel should
always be stored properly in the rear
storage compartment. Place it in the
forward position in the stowage
receivers.
To Install the Top:
1. Make sure that the front handles and
the rear latch are in their opened
positions.
2. Place the rear edge of the roof panel
on the back of the roof opening,
aligning the roof panel pins with the
opening in the body weatherstrip.
3. Lower the front edge of the roof
panel.
4. Turn the front handles to the closed
position and push up the rear latch
lever; then check that the roof panel
is securely installed.

Convertible Power Top

(if equipped)
If your vehicle has a convertible power
top, it can be lowered and stowed under
the tonneau cover behind the seats.
To Lower the Convertible Power Top:
1. Start the engine.
2. Shift an automatic transmission into
Park (P) or shift a manual
transmission into Neutral. Set the
parking brake.
3. Make sure that the trunk is closed
and that the trunk partition is in the
fastened, upright position.
4. Unlock the convertible top front latch
by pulling and turning it clockwise.
The driver's and passenger's side
windows will lower automatically.
5. Push and hold the bottom of
the power convertible top button
located on the left side of the
instrument panel. A chime will sound
when the convertible top has lowered
completely.
