Be careful when opening the tonneau cover by hand.
If the tonneau cover is opened quickly, damage can
occur to the hinging mechanism, which can prevent
proper operation of the convertible top.
2. Locate the pressure release bolt on the front side of
the hydraulic pump.3. 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.
4. Then follow the steps under raising the manual
convertible top. See “Convertible Top (Manual)”
underConvertible Top (Manual) on page 2-59
orConvertible Top (Power) on page 2-66
When 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 3-54for 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.
