hydraulic pump.
1. Open the tonneau cover.
There is a tonneau cover emergency release cable
located behind the passenger's seat head restraint,
on the underside forward edge of the tonneau cover.
Also, see Hatch/Trunk on page 2-14 for information
on the emergency trunk release handle.
2. Pull the emergency release cable to release the
tonneau cover.
Be careful when opening the tonneau cover by hand.
If the tonneau cover is opened quickly, damage can
occur to the hinging mechanism, which can prevent
proper operation of the convertible top.
