ing Messages.” If applicable, perform
the related action to correct the con-
dition present.
3. If Steps 1 and 2 do not resolve the
problem, refer to “Emergency Bypass
Mode”.
WIND STOP
The Wind Stop installs in the backseat
area of the vehicle. The Wind Stop
will not interfere with power top op-
eration. Therefore, it can remain in-
stalled when the top is up. However,
when not in use, the Wind Stop folds
to allow for convenient storage under-
neath the cargo shield in the trunk.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you lower
the convertible top before install-
ing or removing the Wind Stop.

NOTE:
The frames must lie flat on each
other in order to snap them to-
gether.

For vehicles not equipped with the EVIC.
The PTCM will lockout the power convertible top system if the vehicle charging system is malfunctioning, or the
battery is run down, or the hydraulic pump is overheating.
 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.
