scribed under “Power Convertible Top Operation &
Warning Messages.” If applicable, perform the related
action to correct the condition present.

customer Manual Bypass Mode. If the power top mal-
functions mid-cycle, press the interior POWER TOP
switch in the Top Up direction five times within two
seconds. This mode will allow the top to close with
failures. Once the top is closed, please see your autho-

amount of time to fully close the power top. It’s not
uncommon to see 30 second delays before operation
begins.

The Wind Stop will not interfere with power top opera-

trunk.
NOTE:It is recommended that you lower the convert-
ible top before installing or removing the Wind Stop.

The PTCM will lockout the power convertible top system if the vehicle charging system is malfunctioning,
or the battery is run down, or the hydraulic pump is overheating. In addition, the system prohibits lowering the
top when ambient temperature is at 0°F (-18°C) or lower and raising the top when ambient temperature is below
-40°F (-40°C).
•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.
•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.
