Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchoragesystem called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
• The two rear seating positions have lower anchorages that are capable of accommodating LATCH-compatible child seats having flexible, webbing mounted lower attachments or fixed
lower attachments.
• The rear seat lower anchorages are round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion
where it meets the seatback. The rear seat
lower anchors can be readily identified by
the symbol
located on the seatback
directly above the anchorages and are just
visible when you lean into the rear seat to
install the child restraint.
• The top tether strap anchorages are located in the trunk behind the rear seatback. The
access ports to the top tether anchorages
are directly behind the seat headrests under
a plastic cover.
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seat cover material.
• If lowered, raise the convertible top.
NOTE:
The convertible top must be in the UP position to access the tether anchor.
• Open the access port cover behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint.
• Push the tether strap and hook through the access port and down into the trunk.

NOTE:
Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path from the child seat to the anchor.
•
From inside the trunk, open the access cover on the carpet covering the back of the seat and
attach the tether strap hook to the anchor.
•Tighten all three straps as you push the child
restraint rearward and downward into the seat.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child
restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it
tight if necessary.
• If lowered, raise the convertible top.
NOTE:
The convertible top must be in the UP position to access the tether anchor.
•
Open the access port cover behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint. The access
ports to the top tether anchorages are directly behind the seat headrests under a plastic cover.
• Push the tether strap and hook through the access port and down into the trunk.

NOTE:
Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path from the child seat to the anchor.
• From inside the trunk, open the access cover on the carpet covering the back of the seat andattach the tether strap hook to the anchor.
• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside the
vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that
you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be
severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for
the child's size.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front
passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in
this position.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an
infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed. Follow the manufac-
turer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible
injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a
child restraint top tether strap.

POWER CONVERTIBLE TOP OPERATION
• Before lowering the top, verify the cargo shield is perfectly positioned in the trunk.
Positioning The Cargo Shield For Top Operation
• Pull the cargo shield toward you to begin unfolding the panels. Grasp the handle in the centerof the outermost (top) panel and raise the cargo shield. Then, align and set the tabs at each
end of the cargo shield in the V slots in the trunk liner as shown in the illustration.
• The power top switch will operate when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN or
ACC position and when in the power acces-
sory delay.
Lowering
• The power top switch is located on the cen- ter console, just forward of the armrest.
• The power top switch has two top down positions which affect window position when
lowering the top.
• Press and hold the switch halfway down to the first detent position to lower the top and
maintain the current window positions.
• Press and hold the switch fully down to the second detent position to lower the top and
completely lower all four windows.

Wind Stop (if equipped)
• The Wind Stop installs in the backseat area of the vehicle. The Wind Stop will not interferewith power top operation. Therefore, it can remain installed when the top is up. However, when
not in use, the Wind Stop folds to allow for convenient storage underneath the cargo shield in
the trunk.
CAUTION!
• Do not place objects on the cargo shield. Objects placed on the cargo shield will interfere
with the top during lowering and cause extensive damage.
• Once this procedure has been completed and the top is in the UP (raised) position, see
your authorized dealer.
• DO NOT exceed 40 mph (64 km/h).
• Using the Emergency Bypass Mode could potentially 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.
WIND BUFFETING
• Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting occurswith the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
• If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any window. This will minimize buffeting.
