The following procedures explain the proper operation
of your convertible top.
To Lower Your Convertible Top

and shift an automatic transmission into
PARK (P).
Shift a manual transmission into
REVERSE (R).
Lower both windows and sunshades and turn the
ignition key
to LOCK.
NOTICE:
Before lowering the convertible top into the

approximately
8 inches (200 mm) straight up.
Remove the hardtop over the rear of the vehicle.
11. Install the HATCH (45) fuse to enable the storage
compartment lid release button and center console

Sunload:
This sensor is on top of the instrument panel.
When the inside temperature
is increased by sunlight,
the system will lower the inside temperature up to
5°F
(3 “C) below the setting on the display.
Outside Temperature: This sensor is on the right side
of the upper radiator support in the grille opening. This
is what you usually see on the display.
If the outside temperature goes up, the displayed
temperature will not change until:
a Vehicle speed is above 25 mph (40 km/h) for at least
0 Vehicle speed is above 45 mph (72 km/h) for
This delay helps prevent a false reading. If vehicle speed
remains above
25 mph (40 km/h) or the temperature
goes down, the display is updated immediately.
If your vehicle has been off for more than three hours,
the current outside temperature will be stored in the
system when you start the vehicle.
Inside temperature: This sensor is in the center air
outlet
on the passenger side.
If you block or cover either interior sensor, the system
will give a false reading.

set. It will select the best fan speed and aifflow setting to
keep you comfortable with the least amount of noise.
Press the arrows on the TEMP SET switch’to set a
comfortable temperature. Then press AUTO
and the fan
speed will adjust automatically unless you press the
arrows on the switch.
Manual Heating
The heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it.
Press the arrows on the TEMP SET switch to set a
comfortable temperature. Then press HEATER and, if
you don’t like the automatic setting, press the arrows on
the fan speed switch.
In AUTO FAN on cold days, the
fan will stay off until the coolant warms up enough to
heat your vehicle.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater and you use
it in cold weather,
0 OF (- 18 O C) or lower, your heating
system can provide heat more quickly because the
engine coolant is already warmed. See “Engine Coolant
Heater” in the Index.
