Lowering the Power
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 Neutral
and set the parking brake.
2. Make sure the trunk is closed,
the rear trunk partition in the rear
storage area is in the fastened
upright position, and no objects
are forward of the divider. See
Rear Trunk Partition in Rear
Storage on page 4 1.
3. Release the convertible top front
latch, located above the inside
rearview mirror, by pulling and
turning it clockwise. Push
upward on the front edge. The
windows will automatically lower.

latch to the closed position.
5. Push and hold on the
convertible top switch.
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.
Keys, Doors, and Windows
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 36.
