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 
recommended 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.
Closing the convertible top
Note:  The ignition must be on to close the top. It is 
recommended that your engine is running to prevent 
draining the battery. 
To close the top:
1.   Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2.  Press and hold the convertible top control. The 
windows will lower completely. The top will 
unfold and move forward until it is completely 
flush with the windshield header.
Note: Make sure that the latch handles are pulled 
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.
3.  Pull down on the driver’s latch handle and 
rotate it all the way forward into the   
windshield header.
4.  Press the latch handle up into the original   
stowed position.
5.  Pull down on the passenger’s side latch   
handle and rotate it all the way forward into   
the windshield header.
6.  Press the handle up to the original   
stowed position.
7.   close the rear windows before closing the   
front windows.
Note: If the top has been open for an extended period 
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.

rear bumper when the vehicle is in R (Reverse) and is traveling less than

lever. Press (+) to upshift, press (–) to downshift. Return the gearshift lever
