Messages as described under “Power
Convertible Top Operation and Warn-
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.

trunk.

of the large frame (2) and snap the
two frames together by engaging the

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