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 vehicle,
water pressure directed at the
weather strip seals may cause water
to leak into the vehicles interior.
WARNING!
The convertible top does not pro-
vide the structural protection that a
reinforced metal roof does and the
fabric top cannot be expected to
prevent the ejection of the occu-
pants 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 auto-
matic.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.

POWER CONVERTIBLE
TOP USAGE PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
 The convertible top will not op-erate unless the vehicle is sta-
tionary, the cargo shield is posi-
tioned correctly, and the trunk
lid is closed and latched. In ad-
dition, the system is prohibited
from opening when the ambient
temperature is below ­18°C.
 The top system is prohibited from closing when the ambient
temperature is below ­40°C.
 Do not attempt to lower the top when frost, ice, or snow may be
present, this could cause dam-
age or prevent the top from stow-
ing completely.
 The Power Top Control Module (PTCM) monitors and controls
lowering and raising of the top.
A series of micro-switches verify
that operations are complete be-
fore allowing the next stage of
lowering or raising operation.  Opening and closing the top
consecutively without the engine
running may run the battery
down.
 If a fluttering noise is heard from the rear seat belts while driving
with the top down, safely bring
the vehicle to a stop and buckle
the rear seat belts over the empty
seats. This will keep tension on
the seat belts and remove the
fluttering condition.
CAUTION!
 Correctly position the cargoshield in the trunk before stowing
the top. Doing so closes a switch
that allows top operation (stow-
ing) to proceed. If the switch is
not closed, a warning message
displays in the instrument cluster
to notify the driver.
 Always place items carefully into the trunk.
 Do not push items too far into the trunk, particularly when the top
is retracted into its stowage area
in the trunk.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
 Do not use the area on top of the tonneau cover for storage.
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the convertible top
components, trunk contents, cargo
shield, and the vehicle interior.CAUTION!
Before operating the power top:
 Always check on top of the ton- neau cover area to be sure that it
is clear of debris or other items.
 Make sure the ambient tempera- ture is above ­18°C.
 Never attempt to lower a frozen convertible top. Wait until the top
is thawed before lowering it into
the stowage compartment. Low-
ering a cloth top at temperatures
below 0°C should be avoided.
Make sure the convertible top is dry
before lowering it into the stowage
compartment. Lowering the top
when damp, wet, or dirty can cause
stains, mildew, and damage to the
inside of your vehicle.
(Continued)
56

CAUTION!(Continued)
 Make sure there is sufficient clearance of at least 2.2 m for the
top to move up.
 To prevent striking a low ceiling or automatic door opener with
the top, it is strongly recom-
mended that you do not operate
the power top inside a garage or
parking structure.
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the convertible top
components, trunk contents, and
the vehicle interior.CAUTION!
 Do not operate the power top with the hydraulic pump valve open.
 Do not allow the top to remain in
the suspended position. After ap-
proximately 10 minutes in the
suspended position, the hydraulic
pressure will release, which will
allow the top and the trunk lid to
lower. Pressing the power top
switch will cancel this operation.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
 Always use a normal ice scraper to remove snow or ice from the
rear window. Use of a sharp ob-
ject or other tools could scratch
the panels (hard top) or tear the
fabric (soft top) when removing
snow or ice.
 Always close the top when leaving your vehicle so as not to leave the
interior exposed to potentially
damaging outdoor conditions.
 Do not leave the top lowered for
several weeks at a time. Close it
occasionally to prevent discolor-
ation in the folds of the fabric and
to allow the creases to smooth
out. This is especially important
if the top was stowed when not
completely dry.
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the convertible top
components, trunk contents, and
the vehicle interior.
WARNING!
Failure to follow these warnings
can result in injuries that are seri-
ous or fatal to you, your passengers,
and others around you:
 Before operating the power top, make sure that no moving parts
of the convertible top can injure a
person or animal.
 Never place any extremities (hands, feet, etc.) near the con-
vertible top components, the up-
per windshield area, the shelf
area behind the rear seats, or the
convertible top stowage area
while raising or lowering the con-
vertible top.
 When using the power top button
on RKE transmitter, if potential
danger exists while lowering the
top, release the button immedi-
ately to interrupt the operation.
 When using the power top switch on the instrument panel, if poten-
tial danger exists while lowering
the top, release the switch imme-
diately to interrupt the operation.
(Continued)
57

WARNING!(Continued)
 When using the power top switch on the instrument panel, if poten-
tial danger exists while raising the
top, release the switch immedi-
ately to interrupt the operation.
 Only drive the vehicle with the convertible top completely closed
and latched or fully lowered into
its stowage compartment.
 Do not operate the power top when the vehicle is in motion.
CARGO SHIELD
The cargo shield is located in the
trunk. Before lowering the convertible
top, you must unfold the cargo shield
and seat the tabs at each end of the
cargo shield in the V slots in the trunk
liner. Doing so closes a switch that
allows top operation. If the switch is
not closed, a warning message dis-
plays in the instrument cluster to no-
tify the driver. Positioning The Cargo Shield For
Top Operation
Pull the cargo shield toward you to
begin unfolding the panels. Grasp the
handle in the center of the outermost
(top) panel and raise the cargo shield.
Then, align and seat the tabs at each
end of the cargo shield in the V slots in
the trunk liner as shown in the illus-
tration.
CAUTION!
Do not place items on top of the
cargo shield. Items placed on cargo
protector will interfere with the top
during operation and cause exces-
sive damage to the top and cargo
shield.
Positioning The Cargo Shield For
Cargo Storage
To maximize the storage space in the
trunk, the cargo shield can be stowed
in the forward portion of the trunk.
To stow the cargo shield, grasp the
handle of the upright panel of the
cargo shield, lifting the pins out of the
V slots in the trunk trim. Continue
folding the upright panel forward
onto the horizontal panel, then grasp
both panels and lift them to the for-
ward, upright position in the trunk.
NOTE: The convertible top will
NOT operate with the cargo shield
in the stowed position.
