occupants in a collision. Therefore, it is impor-
tant 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.
CAUTION!
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, increased
water pressure may force water past the
every
weather strips.
• Remove any standing water from the top
and dry the surface before opening it.
Operating the top, opening a door or low-
ering 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.

Power Convertible Top Relearn Procedure

If your power convertible top does not operate
in the Auto Opening/Closing mode (automatically
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 30 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 one-quarter open position.
