5. Open both top clamps before the top meets the
windshield header
6. Continue to use the top motor to raise the top
until it has reached the fully closed position flush to
the header.
7. The two pins under the forward edge of the top
should seat themselves in the matching holes in the
header.
8. To fasten both clamps securely, push the clamp
handles into the header on the top until they are
flush with the header. Pulling down on the header at
the center grip while closing the latches may assist

stopping distance. Always leave enough room
between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of
you to stop.
²We recommend that you familiarize yourself with
this braking technique. However, avoid taking any
unnecessary risks.
Hydraulic brake booster system (Hydroboost)
The Hydroboost system receives fluid pressure from
the power steering pump to provide power assist
during braking.
The sound of the pump operating may be heard by
the driver, but this is a normal characteristic of the
system.
For Hydroboost-equipped vehicles operating under
normal conditions, the noise of the fluid flowing
through the booster may be heard whenever the
brake is applied. This condition is normal. Vehicle
service is not required.
If braking performance or pedal response becomes
very poor, even when the pedal is strongly
depressed, it may indicate the presence of air in the
hydraulic system or leakage of fluid. Stop the vehicle
safely as soon as possible and seek service
immediately.
Parking brake
Apply the parking
brake whenever the
vehicle is parked. To
set the parking brake,
apply the brake pedal
and pull the handle up
as far as possible.
The BRAKE warning
lamp in the instrument
cluster illuminates and
remains illuminated
(when the ignition is turned ON) until the parking
brake is released.

Vertical aim adjustment
1. Park the vehicle on
a level surface
approximately
7.6 meters (25 feet)
from a vertical wall or
screen directly in front
of it.
2. Measure the height
from the center of your
headlamp to the
ground and mark an
2.4 meters (8 foot)
horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or
screen at this height (a piece of masking tape works
well). The center of the lamp is marked by a 3.0 mm
circle on the headlamp lens.
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the
wall or screen and open the hood.
4. On the wall or screen you will observe a distinct
line of high intensity light. If this is not centered on
the horizontal reference line, the beam will need to
be adjusted.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster on each headlamp,
then usea6mmwrench or screwdriver to turn the
adjuster either counterclockwise (to adjust up) or
clockwise (to adjust down) centering the light on
the horizontal reference line.
6. HORIZONTAL AIM IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS
VEHICLE AND IS NON-ADJUSTABLE.
7. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.
