WARNING!(Continued)
•Never place or install floor mats or other floor
coverings in the vehicle that cannot be properly
secured to prevent them from moving and interfer-
ing with the pedals or the ability to control the
vehicle.
• Never put floor mats or other floor coverings on top
of already installed floor mats. Additional floor
mats and other coverings will reduce the size of the
pedal area and interfere with the pedals.
• Check mounting of mats on a regular basis. Always
properly reinstall and secure floor mats that have
been removed for cleaning.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the
driver footwell while the vehicle is moving. Ob-
jects can become trapped under the brake pedal
and accelerator pedal causing a loss of vehicle
control.
• If required, mounting posts must be properly in-
stalled, if not equipped from the factory.
Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or
mounting can cause interference with the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of
control of the vehicle.

micro-switches verify that operations are complete
before 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 cargo shield in the trunk
before stowing the top. Doing so closes a switch
that allows top operation (stowing) to proceed. If
the switch is not closed, a warning message dis-
plays in the instrument cluster to notify the driver.
• Always place items carefully into the trunk.
• Do not push items too far into the trunk, particu-
larly when the top is retracted into its stowage area
in the trunk.
• 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.

•If you are trying to lower the top and ambient temperature is 0°F (-18°C) or lower, wait until the temperature rises
and the top is thawed and dry before operating the power top. A soft top should not be lowered at temperatures
below 32°F (0°C).
• If you are trying to raise the top and ambient temperature is below -40°F (-40°C), wait until the temperature rises
before operating the power top.
• If the vehicle charging system is malfunctioning, see your authorized dealer for service.
• If the battery is run down, have it recharged and tested at your authorized dealer.
• Hydraulic pump overheating can occur if you lower and raise the top consecutively (usually more than six or
seven times depending upon the ambient temperature). Wait at least five minutes before operating the power top
again.
NOTE:
If lockout occurs due to hydraulic pump overheating, the system will allow you to raise the top without waiting
five minutes. However, do so only if necessary.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Active Head Restraints may be deployed if they are
struck by an object such as a hand, foot or loose
cargo. To avoid accidental deployment of the Ac-
tive Head Restraint ensure that all cargo is secured,
as loose cargo could contact the Active Head Re-
straint during sudden stops. Failure to follow this
warning could cause personal injury if the Active
Head Restraint is deployed.
Head Restraints — Rear Seats
The rear seat head restraints are fixed and cannot be
adjusted. For proper routing of a Child Seat Tether refer
to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things to Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle” for further information.
