CONVERTIBLE TOP
OPERATIONCAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may
cause interior water damage, stains
or mildew on the top material:
Avoid high-pressure car washes,as they can damage the top mate-
rial. Also, increased water pres-
sure may force water past the
weather strips.
Remove any standing water from
the top and dry the surface before
opening it. Operating the top,
opening a door or lowering a win-
dow while the top is wet may al-
low water to drip into the vehicles
interior.
Use care when washing the ve-
hicle, water pressure directed at
the weather strip seals may cause
water to leak into the vehicles in-
terior.
WARNING!
The convertible top does not provide
the structural protection that a rein-
forced metal roof does and the fabric
top cannot be expected to prevent
the ejection of the occupants in a
collision. Therefore, it is important
that all occupants wear their seat
belts at all times. Death or serious
injuries could occur if you are
ejected from the vehicle during a
collision.
You can lower or raise the power con-
vertible top from inside the vehicle or
lower the top remotely using the Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter. Either operation takes approxi-
mately 30 seconds. The entire
process, including unlatching or
latching the top at the windshield
header is automatic.
The top does take up some space in
the trunk when retracted. However,
the trunk will still hold a significant
amount of cargo. When operating the power convert-
ible top, the trunk lid will pivot at the
rear of the vehicle, swing open by the
rear window, and then pivot back-
ward. This allows room for the top to
retract into or unfold from its stowage
area in the trunk.
When lowering the top, the system
extends the hard tonneau cover,
which stows conveniently underneath
the trunk lid. The tonneau cover
closes the area between the rear seats
and the trunk lid to conceal the top
when stowed.
When raising the top, the system re-
tracts the hard tonneau cover back
into its stowage area underneath the
trunk lid.
To complete either operation, the
trunk lid returns to its normal posi-
tion and then latches.
Spring-loaded flipper doors, which
provide clearance for the linkage,
close off notches in the quarter trim
panels when the top is down.
