Lowering the Power Convertible Top
1. Park on a level surface. Start the engine. Shift an
automatic transmission into PARK (P) and set the
parking brake. Shift a manual transmission into
NEUTRAL, and set the parking brake.
2. Make sure the trunk is closed and the rear trunk
partition in the rear storage area is in the fastened
upright position, and that no objects are forward
of the divider. See "Rear Trunk Partition" under
Rear Storage Area on page 2-54.
3. Release the convertible top front latch, located above
the inside rearview mirror, by pulling and turning it
clockwise toward the driver's door. Push upward on
the front edge. The windows will automatically lower.
The windows will automatically lower and 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.
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 power convertible top. See DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-57 for more information.
4. Push and hold the
bottom of the power
convertible top button,
located to the left of
the steering wheel, on
the instrument panel.
