Automatic power top
General information
The power top opens and closes automat ica l­
l y . The ent ire power top is s tored in the power
top compartment. The power top may be
opened or closed at speeds up to 30 mph

over time
c::> page 184, Vehicle care and
cleaning.
Also observe the following:
- Only open and store the power top when it is
clean a nd dry . Sharp dirt particles can cause
damage to the rear window and the power
top. If the power top is stored when damp,
dents can form . If left stored for a long per i­
od of t ime, mildew and other damage can
develop .
- Do not leave the power top open for several
weeks or the creases in it may become dis­
