Outside Convex Mirror
{WARNING:
A convex mirror can make things, like other
vehicles, look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you could
hit a vehicle on the right. Check the inside mirror
or glance over your shoulder before changing
lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex shaped. A convex
mirror's surface is curved so more can be seen from the
driver seat.

4. Push and hold the 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. See DIC Warnings
and Messages
on page 4‑52for 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. Always put an
automatic transmission in (P) Park or a manual
transmission in (N) Neutral before raising or
lowering the convertible top.
1. Park on a level surface. Start the engine. Shift an automatic transmission into P (Park) and set the
parking brake. Shift a manual transmission into
N (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 3‑51.
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 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 vehicle has lost power, the convertible top can still
be raised by releasing pressure on the hydraulic pump,
located under the passenger's side of the tonneau
cover, by using the following steps. The carpet liner on
the passenger's side must be pulled back to access the
hydraulic pump.
Manual operation of the power convertible top cannot
be attempted for five minutes from the last time the
convertible top button was pressed if the top is not
completely stowed, with the top down and the tonneau
latched, or closed, with the front top latch locked in
place, at the time the convertible top button was
released.

MAXIMUM SPEED 129 km/h (80 MPH)
This message displays when a malfunction is present in
the Selective Ride Control system. The vehicle speed

NO FOBS DETECTED
This message displays if the vehicle does not detect the
presence of a keyless access transmitter when you
have attempted to start the vehicle or a vehicle door
has just closed. The following conditions may cause this
message to appear:
.Driver-added equipment plugged into the
accessory power outlet on the center console
is causing interference. Examples of these
devices are cell phones and cell phone chargers,
two-way radios, power inverters, or similar items.
Try moving the keyless access transmitter away
from these devices when starting the vehicle.
In addition, PDA devices and remote garage and
gate openers may also generate Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) that may interfere with the keyless access transmitter. Do not carry the
keyless access transmitter in the same pocket or
bag as these devices.
.The vehicle is experiencing Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI). Some locations, such as
airports, automatic toll booths, and some gas
stations have EMI fields which may interfere
with the keyless access transmitter.
If moving the transmitter to different locations
within the vehicle does not help, place the
transmitter in the glove box transmitter pocket
with the buttons facing to the right and then
press the START button.
.The vehicle's battery voltage is low. The battery
voltage must be above 10 volts for the keyless
access transmitter to be detected properly.
