with metal objects.

once to unlock the driver ’s door or twice, within five

NOTE:The remote keyless power top function can be
used to open the power top to the spoiler position.
Opening Power Top Remote Function:
1. OPEN — Push and hold the unlock button down on
the key fob for a minimum of three seconds to
initiate Power Top Open. The roof will stop opening

tures Of Your Vehicle” for further information.
WARNING!
Failure to follow these warnings can result in inju-
ries that are serious 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 convertible top components, the upper wind-
shield area, the shelf area behind the rear seats, or
the convertible top stowage area while raising or
lowering the convertible top.
• When using the power top button on key fob, if
potential danger exists while lowering the top,
release the button immediately to interrupt the
operation.

14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

CAUTION!
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 dam-
age the top material. 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 window while the
top is wet may allow water to drip into the
vehicle’s interior.
• Use care when washing the vehicle, water pres-
sure directed at the weather strip seals may cause
water to leak into the vehicle’s interior.
Power Convertible Top Relearn Procedure
If your power convertible top does not operate in the
Auto Opening/Closing mode (automatically opening/
closing to the one-quarter open and three-quarter open
comfort stops), or if the remote keyless power top
function is inoperable, or if the trunk lid does not open
- the following relearn procedure may be necessary. 1. Confirm that the door/trunk lid are closed.
2. Begin with the top in the fully closed position (using
manual mode).
3. Hold the OPEN button to move the top to the fully open position.
4. CONTINUE to hold the OPEN button for an addi- tional three seconds.
5. Release the OPEN button.
6. Hold the CLOSED button to move the top to the fully closed position.
7. CONTINUE to hold the CLOSED button until the top begins to cycle fully open, then release the
CLOSED button.
At the end of step 7 the top will automatically cycle to the
fully open position, and then close to the 1/4 open position.
This will confirm that the relearn procedure was successful.
70 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Auto Open/Close will now be functional. Trunk lid
operation will be functional. Remote Keyless Power Top
Function will be functional.
NOTE: DO NOT interrupt this activity.
If the power convertible top does not relearn, repeat the
procedure a second time.
Wind Stop
The Wind Stop installs in the backseat area of the
vehicle. The Wind Stop will not interfere with power
top operation. Therefore, it can remain installed when
the top is up.
MIRRORS
Inside Day/Night Mirror
The mirror can be adjusted up, down, left, and right for
various drivers. The mirror should be adjusted to center
on the view through the rear window.
Headlight glare from vehicles behind you can be re-
duced by moving the small control under the mirror to
the night position (toward the rear of the vehicle). The
mirror should be adjusted while set in the day position
(toward the windshield).
Automatic Dimming Mirror — If Equipped
This mirror automatically adjusts for headlight glare
from vehicles behind you. You can turn the feature on
or off by pushing the button at the base of the mirror.
The On/Off symbol on the button will illuminate when
the auto-dimming feature is enabled.
NOTE:This feature is disabled when the vehicle is
moving in reverse.
