Retractable Hardtop
The following procedures explain the proper operation
of the retractable hardtop. The top will not operate if the
valet lockout switch is on.
If you are lowering or raising the convertible top multiple
times, the engine should be running while doing so to
prevent drain on the vehicle's battery.
{CAUTION:
Moving parts of the retractable hardtop can be
dangerous. People can be injured by the
hardtop and its mechanism. Keep people away
from your vehicle when you are lowering or
raising the top.

exposing the interior of your vehicle to outdoor
conditions may cause damage. Always close
the convertible top if leaving your vehicle outdoors.
