LIf so equipped.
LLFor vehicles not equipped with the EVIC.
LLLThe PTCM will LOCKOUT the power convertible top system if the vehicle charging system is malfunc-
tioning, or the battery is run down, or the hydraulic pump is overheating. In addition, the system prohibits low-
ering the top when ambient temperature is at 0ÉF (-18ÉC) or lower and raising the top when ambient temperature
is below -40ÉF (-40ÉC).
²If you are trying to lower the top and ambient temperature is 0ÉF (-18ÉC) or lower, wait until the temperature
rises and the top is thawed and dry before operating the Power Top.
²If you are trying to raise the top and ambient temperature is below -40ÉF (-40ÉC), wait until the temperature
rises before operating the Power Top.
²If the vehicle charging system is malfunctioning, see your authorized dealer for service.
²If the battery is run down, have it recharged and tested at your authorized dealer.
²Hydraulic pump overheating can occur if you lower and raise the top consecutively (usually more than six or
seven times depending upon the ambient temperature). Wait at least 5 minutes before operating the Power Top
again.NOTE:If LOCKOUT occurs due to hydraulic pump overheating, the system will allow you to raise the top
without waiting 5 minutes. However, do so only if necessary.
