OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior water damage, stains or mildew on
the top material:
• Avoid high-pressure car washes, as they can damage the top material. Also, in-
creased water pressure may force water past the weather strips.
• Remove any standing water from the top and dry the surface before opening it.
Operating the top, opening a door or lowering a window while the top is wet
may allow water to drip into the vehicle' s interior.
• Use care when washing the vehicle, water pressure directed at the weather strip
seals may cause water to leak into the vehicle' s interior.
The convertible top does not provide the structural protection that a reinforced metal
roof does and the fabric top cannot be expected to prevent the ejection of the occupants
in a collision. Therefore, it is important that all occupants wear their seat belts at all times.
Death or serious injuries could occur if you are ejected from the vehicle during a collision.
Power Convertible Top Relearn Procedure
If your power convertible top does not operate in the Auto Opening/Closing mode (au-
tomatically opening/closing to the one-quarter open and three-quarter open comfort
stops), or if the remote keyless power top function is inoperable, or if the trunk lid does
not open - the following relearn procedure may be necessary.
1. Confirm that the door/trunk lid are closed.
2. Begin with the top in the fully closed position (using manual mode).
3. Hold the OPEN button to move the top to the fully open position.
4. CONTINUE to hold the OPEN button for an additional three seconds.
5. Release the OPEN button.
6. Hold the CLOSED button to move the top to the fully closed position.
7. CONTINUE to hold the CLOSED button until the top begins to cycle fully open, then
release the CLOSED button.
At the end of step 7 the top will automatically cycle to the fully open position, and then
close to the 1/4 open position.
This will confirm that the relearn procedure was successful.
Auto Open/Close will now be functional. Trunk lid operation will be functional. Remote
Keyless Power Top Function will be functional.
