Cleaning the Mirror
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or
similar material dampened with glass cleaner.
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror
as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.
Outside Power Heated Mirrors
The controls for the
outside power mirrors
are located on the
driver’s door.
Move the top selector control to the left or right to
select either the driver’s or passenger’s mirror. To
adjust the direction of the mirror, use the arrows on
the round four-way control. Adjust each outsidemirror so that a little of the vehicle and the area
behind it can be seen while sitting in a comfortable,
driving position. Keep the control in the center
position when not adjusting either outside mirror.
If the vehicle has the memory feature, a preferred
mirror position can be stored. SeeMemory
Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 10.
Both mirrors are heated to rid them of snow, ice,
or condensation. They will heat when the rear
window defogger is turned on. See “Rear Window
Defogger” underDual Automatic Climate Control
System on page 179.
Both mirrors can manually be folded inward by
pulling them toward the vehicle. This feature may
be useful when going through a car wash or a
conned space. Push the mirrors away from the
vehicle, to the normal position, before driving.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If your vehicle has this feature, the driver’s
side outside mirror will adjust for the glare of
headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled
by the on and off setting on the inside mirror.

bottom of the power
convertible top
button, located to the
left of the steering
wheel, on the
instrument panel.
The windows will automatically lower and the
convertible top will lower into the rear of the
vehicle. A chime will sound when the convertible
top has lowered completely. If the radio is on
the sound may be muted for a brief time due to
a new audio system equalization being loaded.
If the 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 convertible
top. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 214for more information.Raising the Power Convertible Top
Notice:If you raise or lower the convertible
top while the vehicle is in motion, you could
damage the top or the top mechanism. The
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.

PARK (P) or a manual transmission in
NEUTRAL before raising or lowering the
convertible top.
1. Park on a level surface. The vehicle must
be running or in Acc. Shift an automatic
transmission into PARK (P) and set the
parking brake. Shift a manual transmission
into NEUTRAL and set the parking brake.
2. Make sure the trunk lid is closed and the
rear trunk partition in the rear storage area
is in the fastened upright position, and that
no objects are forward of the divider.
See “Rear Trunk Partition” underRear
Storage Area on page 131.
3. Push and hold the top of the power convertible
top button. The top will raise and the windows
will lower if they were in the raised position.
A chime will sound when the top is raised

you cannot drive safely at a steady speed.
So, do not use your cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
