Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
These vehicle accessories can be used for up to
10 minutes after the engine is turned off:
.Audio System
.Power Windows
These features continue to work up to 10 minutes after
the engine is turned off or until either door is opened.
If a door is opened, the power windows and audio
system will shut off.
Starting the Engine
Move the shift lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral) for an
automatic transmission. For a manual transmission the
vehicle can be started in Neutral or any other gear as
long as the clutch pedal is pressed. To restart a vehicle
with a manual transmission when you are already
moving, use the Neutral position only. To restart a
vehicle with an automatic transmission when you
are already moving, use N (Neutral).
Notice: Do not try to shift to P (Park) if the vehicle
is moving. If you do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift to P (Park) only when the
vehicle is stopped.
The keyless access transmitter must be inside the
vehicle for the ignition to work. Cell phone chargers can interfere with the operation of
the Keyless Access System. Battery chargers should
not be plugged in when starting or turning off the
engine.
To start the vehicle, do the following:
1. For vehicles with an automatic transmission, with your foot on the brake pedal, press the
START button located on the instrument panel.
For vehicles with a manual transmission, you must
also press in the clutch pedal while pressing the
START button.
If there is not a keyless access transmitter in
the vehicle or if there is something causing
interference with it, the DIC will display NO FOBS
DETECTED. See DIC Warnings and Messages
on
page 4‑52for more information.
2. When the engine begins cranking, let go of the button and the engine cranks automatically until
it starts. If the battery in the keyless access
transmitter is weak, the DIC displays FOB
BATTERY LOW. You can still drive the vehicle.
See “Battery Replacement” underKeyless Access
System Operation
on page 3‑5for more
information. If the fob battery is dead, you need to
insert the fob into the fob slot to enable engine
starting. See “No Fobs Detected” underDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 4‑52.
3-24

4. Push and hold the bottom of the power
convertible top button,
located to the left of the
steering wheel, on the
instrument panel.
The windows will automatically lower and the
convertible top will lower into the rear of the vehicle.
A chime will sound when the convertible top has
lowered completely. If the radio is on the sound may
be muted for a brief time due to a new audio system
equalization being loaded.
If the convertible top is operated multiple times, the
engine should be running to prevent drain on the
vehicle's battery. Under certain conditions, the Driver
Information Center (DIC) may display a message
regarding the power convertible top. See DIC Warnings
and Messages
on page 4‑52for more information.
Raising the Power Convertible Top
Notice: If you raise or lower the convertible top
while the vehicle is in motion, you could damage
the top or the top mechanism. The repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Always put an
automatic transmission in (P) Park or a manual
transmission in (N) Neutral before raising or
lowering the convertible top.
1. Park on a level surface. Start the engine. Shift an automatic transmission into P (Park) and set the
parking brake. Shift a manual transmission into
N (Neutral) and set the parking brake.
2. Make sure the trunk lid is closed and the rear trunk partition in the rear storage area is in the fastened
upright position, and that no objects are forward of
the divider. See “Rear Trunk Partition” underRear
Storage Area on page 3‑51.
3. Push and hold the top of the power convertible top button. The top will raise and the windows will
lower if they were in the raised position. A chime
will sound when the top is raised completely.
4. After the convertible top is completely raised, release the power convertible top button.
5. Pull the convertible front top latch down and turn it counterclockwise to lock the convertible top.
3-68

If the radio is on the sound may be muted for a brief
time due to a new audio system equalization being
loaded. If the vehicle has lost power, the convertible top can still
be raised by releasing pressure on the hydraulic pump,
located under the passenger's side of the tonneau
cover, by using the following steps. The carpet liner on
the passenger's side must be pulled back to access the
hydraulic pump.
Manual operation of the power convertible top cannot
be attempted for five minutes from the last time the
convertible top button was pressed if the top is not
completely stowed, with the top down and the tonneau
latched, or closed, with the front top latch locked in
place, at the time the convertible top button was
released.
