POWER SUNROOF
• The power sunroof roof switch is located in the overhead console.
To Open
• Press and hold the power sunroof switch rearward for approximately two sec-
onds and the sunroof will stop at the vented position. Press the switch a second
time and hold for approximately one second and release, the sunroof will open
fully, then stop automatically. This is called “Express Open”. During Express
Open operation, any movement of the sunroof switch will stop the sunroof.
To Close
• With the sunroof in the full open position, pull the power sunroof button and hold
it for approximately one second, the sunroof will return to the completely close
position. During Express Close operation, any movement of the sunroof switch
will stop the sunroof.
Pinch Protection Feature
• This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during Ex-
press Close operation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the
sunroof will automatically retract. Remove the obstruction if this occurs. Next,
press the switch forward and release to Express Close.
NOTE:If three consecutive sunroof close attempts result in Pinch Protect reversals, the fourthclose attempt will be a Manual Close movement with Pinch Protect disabled.
Sun Shade
• For vehicles equipped with a power sunroof, there is a sun shade that can be
open or closed. To open the sun shade press the tab and move the shade to a
full open position.
WARNING!
• Do not let children play with the sunroof, or leave children unattended in the
vehicle, and do not leave the key in or near the vehicle (or in a location ac-
cessible to children). Occupants, particularly unattended children, can be-
come entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof
switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an
open sunroof. You could also be seriously injured or killed. Always fasten
your seat belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury
may result.

POWER CONVERTIBLE TOP
On vehicles equipped with a power convertible top, the power convertible top
switch is located on the overhead console. The switch contains two buttons. The
passenger side button, is used to open the power top, and the driver side button, is
used to close the power top.
NOTE:
• The power top buttons will operate when the ignition switch is turned to the
ACC/ON/RUN position.
• The power top can be remotely operated with the key fob. Refer to “Opening
Power Top Remote Function” in “Things To Know Before Starting” in the Owner’s
Manual on the DVD for more information.
Lowering The Power Top

spoiler position. Push the top open button for approximately one second a second
time to fully open the convertible top.

NOTE:
Vertical movement only operates in auto open/close mode.
Raising The Power Top

CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior water damage, stains or mil-
dew on the top material:
• Avoid high-pressure car washes, as they can damage the top material. Also,
increased water pressure 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 window while the top is
wet may allow water to drip into the vehicle’s interior.
• Use care when washing the vehicle, water pressure directed at the weather
strip seals may cause water to leak into the vehicle’s interior.
WARNING!
The convertible top does not provide the structural protection that a reinforced
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.
Power Convertible Top Relearn Procedure
If your power convertible top does not operate in the Auto Opening/Closing mode
(automatically opening/closing to the one-quarter open and three-quarter open
comfort stops), or if the remote keyless power top function is inoperable, or if the
trunk lid does not open - the following relearn procedure may be necessary.
1. Confirm that the door/trunk lid are closed.
2. Begin with the top in the fully closed position (using manual mode).
3. Hold the OPEN button to move the top to the fully open position.
4. CONTINUE to hold the OPEN button for an additional three seconds.
5. Release the OPEN button.
6. Hold the CLOSED button to move the top to the fully closed position.
7. CONTINUE to hold the CLOSED button until the top begins to cycle fully open,
then release the CLOSED button.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

At the end of step 7 the top will automatically cycle to the fully open position, and
then close to the 1/4 open position.
This will confirm that the relearn procedure was successful.
Auto Open/Close will now be functional. Trunk lid operation will be functional.
Remote Keyless Power Top Function will be functional.
NOTE:
DO NOT interrupt this activity.
If the power convertible top does not relearn repeat the procedure a second time.
Wind Stop
The Wind Stop installs in the backseat area of the vehicle. The Wind Stop will not inter-
fere with power top operation. Therefore, it can remain installed when the top is up.
WIND BUFFETING
• Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffet-
ing occurs with the windows down, adjust one or both windows up or down
slightly.
• If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust
any window. This will minimize buffeting.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
• To prevent possible engine damage while starting at low temperatures, this ve-
hicle will inhibit engine cranking when the ambient temperature is less than
–22° F (–30° C) and the oil temperature sensor reading indicates an engine block
heater has not been used. An externally-powered electric engine block heater is
available as optional equipment or from your authorized studio.
• The message "plug in engine heater" will be displayed in the instrument cluster
when the ambient temperature is below 5° F (–15° C) at the time the engine is
shut off as a reminder to avoid possible crank delays at the next cold start.
