Convertible Manual Top

(if equipped)
If your vehicle has a convertible manual
top, it can be lowered and stowed under
the tonneau cover behind the seats.
To Lower the Convertible Manual Top:
1. Shift an automatic transmission into
Park (P) or shift a manual
transmission into Neutral. Set the
parking brake and turn off the
ignition.
2. Make sure the trunk is closed.
3. Unlock the convertible top front
latch by pulling it down and turning it
clockwise.
4. Lift the front edge of the top off the
windshield frame; then lift the rear
edge so it is vertical to the tonneau
cover.
5. Press the release button located
on the underside of the cover behind
the driver's seat. This will unlatch the
tonneau cover and lower the driver's
and passenger's side windows. The
cover will not unlatch if the vehicle
alarm is turned on or the trunk lid is
open.
6. With the tonneau cover open, push
forward on the front edge of the
convertible top to allow the rear edge
of the top to move to its full-down
fully-stored position; then move the
top rearward to its fully stored
position.
7. Make sure the top is fully retracted,
and close the tonneau cover.
Refer to your Convertible Top
supplement for additional information.
