Removing the T-Top Roof Panels
CAUTION:
Don't try to remove the T-top panel while the
vehicle is moving. Trying to remove a T
-top panel
while the vehicle is moving could cause an
accident. The panel could fall into the vehicle and
cause you to lose control, or it could fly off and
strike another vehicle. You or others could be
injured. Remove the T
-top panel only when the
vehicle is parked.1. The door key unlocks the T-top panels. The lock is
located over each door window. Turn the key
counterclockwise to unlock the panel.

2. Place the panel in the correct slot (DRIVER or
PASSENGER) in the rear area of your vehicle. Make
sure the handle is open and facing you when you put
it in the storage slot.3. Push the handle down to close and secure the panel
in the slot. To lock each panel in the storage area, use
your door key.

2. After the inboard edge of the panel is in position under
the center roof rail, lower the outboard edge of the panel
into position, close the latch and lock the T
-top.NOTICE:
Do not attempt to install the panels by sliding
them horizontally toward the center roof rail.
Doing so may cause the weatherstrips to be
aligned improperly, which may result in leaks
and possible damage to the weatherstrips.
NOTICE:
High pressure car washes may cause water to
enter your vehicle. Never spray water directly at
the roof panel joints. This will cause leaks.

paper from the Velcro buttons. Push the sunshade back
into place, sticking the Velcro to the glass.
6. Install the T
-top, close the latch and lock the
T
-top. Repeat the previous steps for the passenger
side sunshade.
You can store the sunshades two different ways:

When the T
-tops are in use, store the sunshades in
their storage area in the rear of the vehicle. Make
sure the cargo cover is in its closed, upright position.

When you have the T
-tops off and in their storage
slots, store the sunshades on the T
-tops, in their
installed position.

the smaller part of the latch, then pulling down on the
larger part of the latch. Be sure the hook on the latch
that attaches into the hole at the windshield releases.

nothing or anyone on or
around the top. Push and
hold the down arrow on
the lower part of the
convertible TOP switch.
The switch is located next to your cigarette lighter.
The top will automatically lower into the storage area.

5. Pull down on the latches and align the hooks with
the holes. Push forward on the larger part of the latch
until it clicks. Do not force the latch. If it is hard to
lock, the top is not properly aligned.
NOTICE:
The convertible top may be tight when pushing
forward on the latch when your vehicle is new,
but it will loosen up with time. Make sure that
the hooks are properly aligned before using any
kind of force.
If your vehicle has a power loss, such as a dead battery,
you can still raise the top manually by turning the valve
in the driver's side of the hatch.

1. Open the hatch and find the tab located along the
driver's side trim panel.
2. Lift up the tab and turn the valve counterclockwise
to release the hydraulic pressure.
3. Turn the ignition key to LOCK.
You can now raise or lower your top manually. Be sure
to close the valve after installing your top so you can
raise or lower it electrically later.

2-86 Voltmeter
You can read the battery
voltage on your voltmeter.
If it reads less than 11 volts
or more than 16 volts while
your engine is running, and
it stays there, you may
have a problem with the
electrical charging system.
Have it checked right away. Driving with the voltmeter
reading in a warning zone could drain your battery.
If you idle your engine for a while, the voltmeter reading
might move into the low voltage zone (indicated by red dots).
If the reading stays in the low voltage zone while you are
driving, you may have a problem with the electrical charging
system. Have it checked. While the voltmeter reads in the
low voltage zone, your battery may not be able to power
certain electrical accessories, like ABS. (If this happens, the
ABS INOP light will come on. See ªAnti
-Lock Brake
System Warning Lightº in the Index.)If you must drive a short distance with the voltmeter
reading in a warning zone, turn off all your accessories,
including your air conditioning and audio system.
Brake System Warning Light
Your vehicle's hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If one part isn't working, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem.
Have your brake system inspected right away.

This light should come on briefly when you turn the
ignition key to RUN. If it doesn't come on then, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there's a problem.
