Cargo Shield
The cargo shield is located in the trunk. Before lowering
the convertible top, you must unfold the cargo shield and
seat the tabs at each end of the cargo shield in the V slots
in the trunk liner. Doing so closes a switch that allows top
operation. If the switch is not closed, a warning message
displays in the instrument cluster to notify the driver.
Positioning The Cargo Shield For Top Operation
Pull the cargo shield toward you to begin unfolding the
panels. Grasp the handle in the center of the outermost
(top) panel and raise the cargo shield. Then, align and
seat the tabs at each end of the cargo shield in the V slots
in the trunk liner as shown in the illustration.
CAUTION!
Do NOT place items on top of the cargo shield. Items
placed on cargo protector will interfere with the top
during operation and cause excessive damage to the
top and cargo shield.
