-top, close the latch and lock the T-top.
Repeat the above steps for the passenger side sunshade.
You can store the sunshades two different ways:

When the T
-tops are in use, store the sunshades
in their storage area in the rear of the vehicle. Make
sure the cargo cover is in its closed, upright position.

When you have the T
-tops off and in their storage
slots, store the sunshades on the T
-tops, in their
installed position.

NOTICE:
The convertible top may be tight when pushing
forward on the latch when your vehicle is new,
but it will loosen up with time. Make sure that
the hooks are properly aligned before using any
kind of force.
If your vehicle suffers a power loss, such as a dead
battery, you can still raise the top manually by turning
the valve in the driver's side of the hatch.
Open the hatch and find the tab located along the
driver's side trim panel. Lift up the tab and turn the valve
counterclockwise to release the hydraulic pressure. Turn
the ignition key to LOCK. You can now raise or lower
your top manually. Be sure to close the valve after
installing your top so you can raise or lower it
electrically later.

2-82 Voltmeter
You can read the battery
voltage on your voltmeter.
If it reads less than 11 volts
or more than 16 volts while
your engine is running, and
it stays there, you may
have a problem with the
electrical charging system.
Have it checked right away. Driving with the voltmeter
reading in a warning zone could drain your battery.
If you idle your engine for a while, the voltmeter
reading might move into the low voltage zone (indicated
by red dots). If the reading stays in the low voltage zone
while you are driving, you may have a problem with the
electrical charging system. Have it checked. While the
voltmeter reads in the low voltage zone, your battery
may not be able to power certain electrical accessories,
like ABS. (If this happens, the ABS INOP light will
come on. See ªAnti
-Lock Brake System Warning
Lightº in the Index.)If you must drive a short distance with the voltmeter
reading in a warning zone, turn off all your accessories,
including your air conditioning and audio system.
Brake System Warning Light
Your vehicle's hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If one part isn't working, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem.
Have your brake system inspected right away.
United States Canada
This light should come on briefly when you turn the
ignition key to RUN. If it doesn't come on then, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there's a problem.

2-83
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the
road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. (See ªTowing Your Vehicleº
in the Index.)
CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working properly
if the brake system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning light on can lead
to an accident. If the light is still on after you've
pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have
the vehicle towed for service.
When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will also come on when you set your parking brake. The
light will stay on if your parking brake doesn't release
fully. If it stays on after your parking brake is fully
released, it means you have a brake problem.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
United States Canada
With the anti
-lock brake system, this light will come on
when you start your engine and it will stay on for three
seconds. That's normal.
If the anti
-lock brake system warning light stays on
longer than normal after you've started your engine, turn
the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on and stays on
when you're driving, stop as soon as possible and turn
the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again
while you're driving, your vehicle needs service. If the
light is on and the regular brake system warning light
isn't on, you still have brakes, but you don't have
anti
-lock brakes. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The anti
-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If
the light doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will
be ready to warn you if there is a problem.

2-84 ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation) System
Warning Light (Option)
This warning light should
come on briefly as you start
the engine. If the warning
light doesn't come on then,
have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if
there's a problem.
If it stays on, or comes on when you're driving, there
may be a problem with your ASR system and your vehicle
may need service. When this warning light is on, the system
will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The ASR system warning light will come on if you turn
the system off by pressing the ASR button located on
the console and the warning light will come on and stay
on. To turn the system back on, press the button again.
The warning light should go off. (See ªASR Systemº
in the Index for more information.)
If the ASR system warning light comes on and stays
on for an extended period of time when the system is
turned on, your vehicle needs service.
Low Traction Light
When your anti-lock
system is adjusting brake
pressure to help avoid a
braking skid, this light
will come on.
If you have the ASR system, this light will also come on
when the system is limiting wheel spin. You may feel or
hear the system working, but this is normal. Slippery
road conditions may exist if the low traction light comes
on, so adjust your driving accordingly. The light will
stay on for a few seconds after the ASR system stops
limiting wheel spin.
The low traction light also comes on briefly when you
turn the ignition key to RUN. If the light doesn't come
on then, have it fixed so it will be there to tell you when
the anti
-lock brake system or ASR system is active.

Comfort Controls
With this system you can control the heating, air
conditioning and ventilation in your vehicle.
Your vehicle also has the flow
-through ventilation
system described later in this section.
Fan Control Knob
Turn this knob to select the force of air you want.
Temperature Control Knob
Turn the knob to change the temperature of the air
flowing from the system. Turn it toward the red area
(clockwise) for warmer air and toward the blue area
(counterclockwise) for cooler air.
Air Control Knob
OFF: The system is off.
MAX: This setting provides maximum cooling for
quick cool
-down on very hot days. It recirculates
most of the air inside your vehicle. If it is used for long
periods of time, the air may become dry. This setting
directs air through the upper air vents.
A/C: Use A/C for normal cooling on hot days. This
setting cools outside air and directs it through the upper
air vents.
The air conditioner compressor operates in MAX,
A/C, bi
-level, blend and defrost when the outside
temperature is above freezing. When the air conditioner
is on, you may sometimes notice slight changes in your
vehicle's engine speed and power due to the operation of
the compressor.

3-5 Ventilation System
Adjust the direction of airflow by moving the vents.
Your vehicle's flow
-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside air
will also enter the vehicle when the blower fan is running.
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, you can still direct outside air through
your vehicle.1. Turn the air control knob to VENT.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to a
comfortable setting.
3. Turn the fan control knob to the desired speed.
Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of your windows.

When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn
the fan control knob clockwise for a few moments
before driving off. This helps clear the intake ducts
of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of your windows.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
