cated and physically demanding procedure, and it re-
quires a special tool to do so. In the event that you
experience a malfunction when operating the power
convertible top:

under “Power Convertible Top Usage Precautions” to
verify all operating conditions are met.
2. Check for Operation and Warning Messages as de-
scribed under “Power Convertible Top Operation and
Warning Messages.” If applicable, perform the related
action to correct the condition present.

“Emergency Bypass Mode”.
Wind Stop — If Equipped

The Wind Stop will not interfere with power top opera-
tion. Therefore, it can remain installed when the top is up.

for convenient storage underneath the cargo shield in the
trunk.
NOTE:It is recommended that you lower the convert-
ible top before installing or removing the Wind Stop.

2. Unfold the Wind Stop framework.
