Using your convertible top
Do not store articles behind the rear seat. Articles
stored in the convertible top stowage compartment
may break the rear glass window when the top is
lowered. The windows automatically lower when
lowering or raising the top. Do not lower the top when
the top material is wet. Remove any leaves or debris
on the outer surface of the top. The convertible top
will not operate unless the vehicle is stationary or
traveling under 3 mph (5 km/h).
Opening the convertible top
Note: Your ignition must be on to open the top. It is
recommended that your engine is running to prevent
draining the battery.
To open the top:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Unclamp the latches located where the top meets
the windshield header. To do this, pull down the
latch handles and rotate them rearward until the
latches clear the windshield header.
3. Press and hold the convertible top control
on the overhead console until the windows come
all the way down and the top is completely stored.
Using the convertible top boot*
Make sure the boot is always fully secured before
driving. Improper installation of the boot can result
in the loss or damage of the boot. For information
on installing the boot, removing the boot, and
storing the boot, see the Using the Boot section of
your Owner’s Manual.
Closing the convertible top
Note: The ignition must be on to close the top. It is
recommended that your engine is running to prevent
draining the battery.
To close the top:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Press and hold the convertible top control. The
windows will lower completely. The top will
unfold and move forward until it is completely
flush with the windshield header.
Note: Make sure that the latch handles are pulled
down and are in the fully opened position before
the top makes contact with the windshield header.
This allows for hand clearance and proper closure
of the top.
3. Pull down on the driver’s latch handle and
rotate it all the way forward into the
windshield header.
4. Press the latch handle up into the original
stowed position.
5. Pull down on the passenger’s side latch
handle and rotate it all the way forward into
the windshield header.
6. Press the handle up to the original
stowed position.
7. close the rear windows before closing the
front windows.
Note: If the top has been open for an extended period
of time or if the temperature is low, the top material
may shrink slightly. If this happens, pull on the latch
handles or the center grip to fasten to the top.
