3. Release the convertible top front
latch, located above the inside
rearview mirror, by pulling and
turning it clockwise toward the
driver door. Push upward on the
front edge. The windows will
automatically lower.
4. Return the convertible top front
latch to the closed position.
5. Push and hold the bottom of the
convertible top switch, located to
the left of the steering wheel, on
the instrument panel.
The convertible top will lower into
the rear of the vehicle. A chime will
sound when the convertible top has
lowered completely. If the radio is
on the sound may be muted for
a brief time due to a new audio
system equalization being loaded.
If the convertible top is operated
multiple times, the engine should
be running to prevent drain on the
vehicle's battery. Under certain
conditions, the Driver Information
Center (DIC) may display a
message regarding the convertible
top. See Convertible Top Messages
on page 5 37 for more information.
Raising the Power Convertible Top
If you raise or lower the
convertible top while the vehicle
is in motion, you could damage
the top or the top mechanism.
The repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Always put
an automatic transmission in
P (Park) or a manual transmission
in Neutral before raising or
lowering the convertible top.
1. Park on a level surface. Start
the engine. Shift an automatic
transmission into P (Park) and
set the parking brake. Shift
a manual transmission into
N (Neutral) and set the parking
brake.
