After use, the handle must be pushed back into its original position before the trunk can be closed.

If the car is locked with the remote control while the power retractable hard top is down,
the double locking feature activates after approximately 30 seconds. This means that the doors cannot be unlocked or
opened from inside the car.

Temporarily disabling the double locking function
If a person or pet is to remain in the car when the top is down and the car has been locked using the remote, the double
locking feature can be temporarily disabled.

Press the button (1). The LED in the button will remain on for one minute after the key has been removed from the
ignition switch or until the car is locked. A text message will also be displayed.

automatically reconnected to the alarm system the next time the car is unlocked and then locked again.
The double locking function will be automatically enabled the next time the car is locked with the remote while the
power retractable hard top is open.
Disabling the double locking function and accessory alarm sensors does not disarm the car's standard alarm.

When the battery begins to lose its charge, the Information symbol in the instrument panel (see page 33
) lights up and
REMOTE BATTERY LOW VOLTAGE is shown in the information display.
Replacing the battery in the remote control

should be replaced. To replace the battery:
Remove the key blade.
Place the remote control with the keypad downward. Remove the screw (1) using a small slotted screwdriver.
Remove the cover.
