\bIf so equipped.
\b\b For vehicles not equipped with the EVIC.
\b\b\b The PTCM will lockout the power convertible top system if the vehicle charging system is malfunction-
ing, or the battery is run down, or the hydraulic pump is overheating. In addition, the system prohibits lower-
ing the top when ambient temperature is at 0°F (-18°C) or lower and raising the top when ambient temperature
is below -40°F (-40°C).
• If you are trying to lower the top and ambient temperature is 0°F (-18°C) or lower, wait until the temperature
rises and the top is thawed and dry before operating the power top. A soft top should not be lowered at tem-
peratures below 32°F (0°C).
• If you are trying to raise the top and ambient temperature is below -40°F (-40°C), wait until the temperature
rises before operating the power top.
• If the vehicle charging system is malfunctioning, see your authorized dealer for service.
• If the battery is run down, have it recharged and tested at your authorized dealer.
• Hydraulic 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 five 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 five minutes. However, do so only if necessary.

Emergency Bypass Mode (To Raise The Top
Only)
This procedure is only to be used to raise the top when
the top cannot be returned to the UP (raised) position by
pressing the POWER TOP switch or is in a position in
which the vehicle cannot be driven. Please follow these
emergency bypass instructions to return the top to the UP
(raised) position.
Press the POWER TOP switch in the Top Up direction
five times within two seconds and hold the switch in the
Top Up position for a minimum of two minutes.
CAUTION!
•Once this procedure has been completed and the
top is in the UP (raised) position, see your autho-
rized dealer. DO NOT exceed 40 mph (64 km/h).(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
•Using the Emergency Bypass Mode could poten-
tially damage the convertible top and should only
be used to raise the power top to the UP (raised)
position when the normal top operation is not
functioning.
If damage starts to occur while in the Emergency Bypass
Mode, immediately release the power top switch and see
your authorized dealer.
NOTE: This procedure may take more time to fully raise
and close the power top. It is not uncommon to see
delays of up to 30 seconds before operation begins.
