Top” in the Index.
This procedure will require the use of the storage
compartment lid release button behind the driver’s seat
or the center console release switch. The fuse that
enables these releases is not installed at the assembly
plant and should
be in your center console. See
“Instrument Panel Fuse Block” in the Index for
location of the fuse. The fuse is labeled HATCH (45). 4. With
one person on each side, carefully position the
hardtop over the vehicle. Lower the hardtop slowly,
aligning the rear bolt spacers onto the bezels, and
front conical nuts into the tapered receivers. Realign
the hardtop, if necessary.

System Problems
If the light above an air control button flashes when you
turn on the ignition, your system may have an electrical
problem. The flashing will continue for one minute,
then stop.
The flashing light could also mean the refrigerant level
is too low in your system. The light will continue to
flash, even if refrigerant is added, until the system is
reset. Have your system checked and serviced if needed.
To reset your system:
1. Turn your ignition key to OFF or LOCK.
2. Remove the courtesy lamps and radio fuses from the
main fuse panel and wait one minute. See “Fuses and
Circuit Breakers” in the Index.
3. Put the fuses back in and start your vehicle.
The light shouldn’t come on and your system should be
working properly. If you still have
a problem, see
your dealer.

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
fan to the highest speed for a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow
and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
