Driver Controls
To lower the convertible top:
1. Bring vehicle to a complete stop. Engage the
parking brake. Key must be in the ON position.
2. Check the convertible top stowage compartment
behind the rear seat to be sure it is empty and ready
to receive the top.
3. Unclamp the top from the windshield header at
both the right and left sides by pulling each clamp
rearward until the hook in the windshield header is
free. The clamps are flush with the header when in
the closed position.
4. Close the windshield header clamps immediately
after disengagement, to avoid cutting the top
material and to permit installation of the vinyl boot.
5. If the top has not
been lowered for some
time and sticks to the
windshield header,
push the front of the
top up slightly with
your hand to loosen it.
6. Push the convertible
top switch on the
console in front of the
armrest and hold until
the top is completely
stored.
7. Disengage the
parking brake.
Installation of the boot (if equipped)
1. Push boot rearward
and engage boot under
the body molding at
the rear and sides.
