2. Pull back the carpet liner on the
passenger's side to access the
hydraulic pump.
3. Locate the pressure release
bolt on the front side of the

4. Use the wrench, located in the
console, and turn the pressure
release bolt counterclockwise
one revolution, to relieve
pressure to the hydraulic pump.
This will allow you to manually
raise the convertible top.
5. Then follow the steps under
raising the manual convertible
top. See Manual Operation
or Power Operation in this
section.
When power is restored to the
vehicle, the hydraulic bolt must be
tightened, by turning it clockwise.
The power convertible top button
can then be used to lower or raise
the convertible top.
