POWER CONVERTIBLE
TOP USAGE PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
 The convertible top will not op-erate unless the vehicle is sta-
tionary, the cargo shield is posi-
tioned correctly, and the trunk
lid is closed and latched. In ad-
dition, the system is prohibited
from opening when the ambient
temperature is below ­18°C.
 The top system is prohibited from closing when the ambient
temperature is below ­40°C.
 Do not attempt to lower the top when frost, ice, or snow may be
present, this could cause dam-
age or prevent the top from stow-
ing completely.
 The Power Top Control Module (PTCM) monitors and controls
lowering and raising of the top.
A series of micro-switches verify
that operations are complete be-
fore allowing the next stage of
lowering or raising operation.  Opening and closing the top
consecutively without the engine
running may run the battery
down.
 If a fluttering noise is heard from the rear seat belts while driving
with the top down, safely bring
the vehicle to a stop and buckle
the rear seat belts over the empty
seats. This will keep tension on
the seat belts and remove the
fluttering condition.
CAUTION!
 Correctly position the cargo shieldin the trunk before stowing the
top. Doing so closes a switch that
allows top operation (stowing) to
proceed. If the switch is not
closed, a warning message dis-
plays in the instrument cluster to
notify the driver.
 Always place items carefully into
the trunk.
 Do not push items too far into the
trunk, particularly when the top is
retracted into its stowage area in
the trunk.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
 Do not use the area on top of the
tonneau cover for storage.
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the convertible top
components, trunk contents, cargo
shield, and the vehicle interior.CAUTION!
Before operating the power top:
 Always check on top of the ton-
neau cover area to be sure that it is
clear of debris or other items.
 Make sure the ambient tempera-
ture is above ­18°C if you want to
open the top.
 Make sure the ambient tempera-
ture is above ­40°C if you want to
close to the top.
 Never attempt to lower a frozen
convertible top. Wait until the top
is thawed before lowering it into
the stowage compartment. Low-
ering a cloth top at temperatures
below 0°C should be avoided.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
DESCRIPTIONS
1. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading be-
low theH(red) mark of the gauge
shows that the engine cooling system
is operating properly. The gauge
pointer may show a higher than nor-
mal temperature when driving in hot
weather, up mountain grades, in
heavy stop and go traffic, or when
towing a trailer.
If the pointer rises to the H(red)
mark, the instrument cluster will
sound a chime. Pull over and stop the
vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the
pointer drops back into the normal
range. If the pointer remains on the H
(red) mark, turn the engine off imme-
diately and call for service.
There are steps that you can take to
slow down an impending overheat
condition. If your air conditioning is
on, turn it off. The air conditioning
system adds heat to the engine cooling
system and turning off the A/C re- moves this heat. You can also turn the
Temperature control to maximum
heat, the Mode control to Floor and
the Fan control to High. This allows
the heater core to act as a supplement
to the radiator and aids in removing
heat from the engine cooling system.
2. Fuel Door Reminder
This is a reminder that the
Fuel Filler Door is located
on the left side of the ve-
hicle.
3. Fuel Gauge
When the ignition switch is in the
ON/RUN position, the pointer will
show the level of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank.
4. Speedometer
Indicates the vehicle speed in miles
per hour (MPH) and kilometers per
hour (km/h). 5. Low Fuel Light
When the fuel level drops to ap-
proximately 7.6 Liters, the fuel
symbol will light and a single
chime will sound.
NOTE:
This light will remain on until a
minimum of approximately 11 Li-
ters of fuel is added.
6. Charging System Light This light shows the status of
the electrical charging system.
The light should come on briefly when
the ignition is first turned on and re-
main on briefly as a bulb check. If the
light stays on or comes on while driv-
ing, turn off some of the vehicle'selec-
trical devices, such as the Front Fog
Lights or Rear Window Defroster. If
the Charging System Light remains
on, it means that the vehicle is expe-
riencing a problem with the charging
system. Obtain SERVICE IMMEDI-
ATELY. See your local authorized
dealer.
If jump starting is required, refer to
“Jump Starting Procedures” in “What
To Do In Emergencies”.

fore Starting Your Vehicle” for further
information.
8. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first
turned to ON/RUN, this light
will turn on for four to eight
seconds as a bulb check. During the
bulb check, if the driver's seat belt is
unbuckled, a chime will sound. After
the bulb check or when driving, if the
driver seat belt remains unbuckled,
the Seat Belt Warning Light will flash
or remain on continuously. Refer to
“Occupant Restraints” in “Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle”
for further information. 9. Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light indicates low engine
oil pressure. The light will
come on and remain on when the ig-
nition switch is turned from the OFF
to the ON/RUN position, and the light
will turn off after the engine is started.
If the bulb does not come on during
starting, have the system checked by
an authorized dealer.
If the light comes on and remains on
while driving, stop the vehicle and
shut off the engine. DO NOT OPER-
ATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE
CAUSE IS CORRECTED.
The light does not show the quantity
of oil in the engine. This can be deter-
mined using the procedure shown in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
10. Engine Temperature Warning
Light This light warns of an over-
heated engine condition. As
engine coolant temperature
rise and the gauge approaches H, the
light will illuminate and a single
chime will sound after reaching a set
threshold. Further overheating will cause a continuous chime sound for
4 minutes or until the engine is al-
lowed to cool.
If the light turns on while driving,
safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If
the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also,
shift the transmission into NEUTRAL
and idle the vehicle. If the tempera-
ture reading does not return to nor-
mal, turn the engine off immediately
and call for service. Refer to “If Your
Engine Overheats” in “What To Do In
Emergencies” for further informa-
tion.
11. Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various
brake functions, including
brake fluid level and parking
brake application. If the brake light
turns on it may indicate that the park-
ing brake is applied, that the brake
fluid level is low, or that there is a
problem with the anti-lock brake sys-
tem.
The dual brake system provides a re-
serve braking capacity in the event of
a failure to a portion of the hydraulic
system. Failure of either half of the108

dual brake system is indicated by the
Brake Warning Light which will turn
on when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a
specified level.
The light will remain on until the
cause is corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily
during sharp cornering maneuvers
which change fluid level condi-
tions. The vehicle should have ser-
vice performed, and the brake
fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immedi-
ate repair is necessary.WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the brake
light on is dangerous. Part of the
brake system may have failed. It will
take longer to stop the vehicle. You
could have a collision. Have the ve-
hicle checked immediately.Vehicles equipped with Anti-Lock
brakes (ABS), are also equipped with
Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD). In the event of an EBD failure,
the Brake Warning Light will turn on
along with the ABS Light. Immediate
repair to the ABS system is required.
The operation of the Brake Warning
Light can be checked by turning the
ignition switch from the OFF position
to the ON/RUN position. The light
should illuminate for approximately
three seconds. The light should then
turn off unless the parking brake is
applied or a brake fault is detected. If
the light does not illuminate, have the
light inspected by an authorized
dealer.
The light also will turn on when the
parking brake is applied with the ig-
nition switch in the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
