Raising The Power Top
Auto Close
From the convertible top fully open position, push the top close button for approxi-
mately one second for the three-quarter open/spoiler position. Push the top close
button for approximately one second a second time for the one-quarter open posi-
tion. Push and hold close button to fully close convertible top.
Manual Close
For manual close, push and hold the close button until desired position until one-
quarter open position. Push and hold again for full close position.
NOTE:
Rail lubrication is recommended every 2000 cycles, or if scratching noises due to
dust are present. Refer to “Fluids, Lubes, and Genuine Part” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” in the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for information.
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.

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 dealer.
• 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.

Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, accident and injury. It
is strongly recommended that you use extreme caution when using any device or
feature that may take your focus off the road or your hands off the steering wheel.
Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any handheld device while driving, encourage the use of voice-
