3. Locate the pressure release bolt on the front side of
the hydraulic pump.
4. Use the wrench, located in the console, and turn
the pressure release bolt counterclockwise one
revolution, to relieve pressure to the hydraulic
pump. This will allow you to manually raise
the convertible top.
5. Then follow the steps under raising the manual
convertible top. See “Convertible Top (Manual)”
underConvertible Top (Manual) on page 2-60
orConvertible Top (Power) on page 2-67When power is restored to the vehicle, the hydraulic bolt
must be tightened, by turning it clockwise. The power
convertible top button can then be used to lower or raise
the convertible top.
If the power 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 top. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-53for more information.
If the battery has been disconnected, the power
windows must be initialized for the power top to operate.
SeePower Windows on page 2-17for more information.
