Convertible To p*
Using your convertible top:
Do not store articles behind the rear seat. Articles
stored in the convertible top stowage compartment
may break the rear glass window when the top is
lowered. The windows automatically lower when
lowering or raising the top. Do not lower the top when
the top material is wet. Remove any leaves or debris
on the outer surface of the top. The convertible top
will not operate unless the vehicle is stationary or
traveling under 3 mph (5 km/h).
Opening the convertible top:
Note: Your ignition must be on to open the top. It is
recommend that your engine is running to prevent draining
the battery.
To open the top:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Unclamp the latches located where the top meets
the windshield header. To do this; pull down the
latch handles and rotate them rearward until the
latches clear the windshield header.
3. Press and hold the convertible top control
on the overhead console until the windows come
all the way down and the top is completely stored.
Using the convertible top boot*:
Make sure the boot is always fully secured before
driving. Improper installation of the boot can result
in the loss or damage of the boot. For information
on installing the boot, removing the boot, and
storing the boot, see the Using the Boot section of
your Owner’s Manual.

recommend that your engine is running to prevent
draining the battery.

2. Press and hold the convertible top control. The
windows will lower completely. The top will
unfold and move forward until it is completely

down and are in the fully opened position before
the top makes contact with the windshield header.
This allows for hand clearance and proper closure
of the top.

rotate it all the way forward into the
windshield header.

of time or if the temperature is low, the top material
may shrink slightly. If this happens, pull on the latch
handles or the center grip to fasten to the top.
