NOTE: When using the ISOFIX
attaching system to install a child
restraint, please ensure that all
seat belts not being used for occu-
pant restraints are stowed and out
of reach of children. It is recom-
mended that before installing the
child restraint, buckle the seat belt
so the seat belt is tucked behind
the child restraint and out of
reach. If the buckled seat belt in-
terferes with the child restraint in-
stallation, instead of tucking the
seat belt behind the child re-
straint, route the seat belt through
the child restraint belt path and
then buckle it. This should stow
the seat belt out of the reach of an
inquisitive child. Remind all chil-
dren in the vehicle that the seat
belts are not toys and should not be
played with, and never leave your
child unattended in the vehicle.Installing The ISOFIX-
Compatible Child Restraint
System
We urge you to carefully follow the
directions of the manufacturer when
installing your child restraint. Not all
child restraint systems will be in-
stalled as described here. Again, care-
fully follow the installation instruc-
tions that were provided with the
child restraint system.
The rear seat lower anchor-
ages are round bars, located
at the rear of the seat cush-
ion where it meets the seat-
back, and are just visible when you
lean into the rear seat to install the
child restraint. You will easily feel
them if you run your finger along the
intersection of the seatback and seat
cushion surfaces.
In addition, there are tether
strap anchorages behind
each rear seating position.
Access ports to the tether an-
chors are located in the panel between
the rear seat and the rear window. The
tether anchors are underneath access covers in the carpet covering the back of
the seat where you see this symbol.
Many, but not all, restraint systems
will be equipped with separate straps
on each side, with each having a hook
or connector for attachment to the
lower anchorage and a means of ad-
justing the tension in the strap.
Forward-facing toddler restraints and
some rear-facing infant restraints will
also be equipped with a tether strap, a
hook for attachment to the tether
strap anchorage and a means of ad-
justing the tension of the strap.
You will first loosen the child seat
adjusters on the lower straps and on
the tether strap so that you can more
easily attach the hooks or connectors
to the vehicle anchorages. Next, at-
tach the lower hooks or connectors
over the top of the seat cover material.
Then, rotate the tether anchorage
cover directly behind the seat where
you are placing the child restraint,
push the tether strap and hook
through the access port and down into
the trunk. Open the access cover on
the carpet covering the back of the
seat and attach the tether strap hook

Exhaust GasWARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
They contain carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless and odor-
less. Breathing it can make you un-
conscious and can eventually poi-
son you. To avoid breathing (CO),
follow these safety tips:
Do not run the engine in a closedgarage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
If you are required to drive with
the trunk/liftgate open, make
sure that all windows are closed
and the climate control BLOWER
switch is set at high speed. DO
NOT use the recirculation mode.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed. The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when
exhaust fumes can be detected inside
the vehicle, or when the underside or
rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a
competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent
body areas for broken, damaged, de-
teriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the passenger compartment. In
addition, inspect the exhaust system
each time the vehicle is raised for lu-
brication or oil change. Replace as
required.
Safety Checks You Should
Make Inside The Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be re-
placed immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regard-
ing belt or retractor condition, replace
the belt.

CONVERTIBLE TOP
OPERATIONCAUTION!Failure to follow these cautions may
cause interior water damage, stains
or mildew on the top material: Avoid high-pressure car washes,as they can damage the top mate-
rial. Also, increased water pres-
sure may force water past the
weather strips.
Remove any standing water from the top and dry the surface before
opening it. Operating the top,
opening a door or lowering a win-
dow while the top is wet may al-
low water to drip into the vehicles
interior.
Use care when washing the vehicle,
water pressure directed at the
weather strip seals may cause water
to leak into the vehicles interior.
WARNING!
The convertible top does not pro-
vide the structural protection that a
reinforced metal roof does and the
fabric top cannot be expected to
prevent the ejection of the occu-
pants in a collision. Therefore, it is
important that all occupants wear
their seat belts at all times. Death or
serious injuries could occur if you
are ejected from the vehicle during
a collision.You can lower or raise the power con-
vertible top from inside the vehicle or
lower the top remotely using the Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter. Either operation takes approxi-
mately 30 seconds. The entire process,
including unlatching or latching the
top at the windshield header is auto-
matic.The top does take up some space in
the trunk when retracted. However,
the trunk will still hold a significant
amount of cargo. When operating the power convert-
ible top, the trunk lid will pivot at the
rear of the vehicle, swing open by the
rear window, and then pivot back-
ward. This allows room for the top to
retract into or unfold from its stowage
area in the trunk.
When lowering the top, the system
extends the hard tonneau cover,
which stows conveniently underneath
the trunk lid. The tonneau cover
closes the area between the rear seats
and the trunk lid to conceal the top
when stowed.
When raising the top, the system re-
tracts the hard tonneau cover back
into its stowage area underneath the
trunk lid.
To complete either operation, the
trunk lid returns to its normal posi-
tion and then latches.
Spring-loaded flipper doors, which
provide clearance for the linkage,
close off notches in the quarter trim
panels when the top is down.
55
Page 63 of 244

CAUTION!(Continued)
Make sure there is sufficient clearance of at least 2.2 m for the
top to move up.
To prevent striking a low ceiling or automatic door opener with
the top, it is strongly recom-
mended that you do not operate
the power top inside a garage or
parking structure.
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the convertible top
components, trunk contents, and
the vehicle interior.CAUTION!
Do not operate the power top with the hydraulic pump valve open.
Do not allow the top to remain in
the suspended position. After ap-
proximately 10 minutes in the
suspended position, the hydraulic
pressure will release, which will
allow the top and the trunk lid to
lower. Pressing the power top
switch will cancel this operation.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
Always use a normal ice scraper to remove snow or ice from the
rear window. Use of a sharp ob-
ject or other tools could scratch
the panels (hard top) or tear the
fabric (soft top) when removing
snow or ice.
Always close the top when leaving your vehicle so as not to leave the
interior exposed to potentially
damaging outdoor conditions.
Do not leave the top lowered for
several weeks at a time. Close it
occasionally to prevent discolor-
ation in the folds of the fabric and
to allow the creases to smooth
out. This is especially important
if the top was stowed when not
completely dry.
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the convertible top
components, trunk contents, and
the vehicle interior.
WARNING!
Failure to follow these warnings
can result in injuries that are seri-
ous or fatal to you, your passengers,
and others around you:
Before operating the power top, make sure that no moving parts
of the convertible top can injure a
person or animal.
Never place any extremities (hands, feet, etc.) near the con-
vertible top components, the up-
per windshield area, the shelf
area behind the rear seats, or the
convertible top stowage area
while raising or lowering the con-
vertible top.
When using the power top button
on RKE transmitter, if potential
danger exists while lowering the
top, release the button immedi-
ately to interrupt the operation.
When using the power top switch on the instrument panel, if poten-
tial danger exists while lowering
the top, release the switch imme-
diately to interrupt the operation.

Using The Remote Keyless Entry
Transmitter
You cannot use the power top button
on the RKE transmitter to raise the
power convertible top. You must use
the power top switch inside the ve-
hicle to perform this operation.
Manually Raising
Raising the power convertible top
manually should only be performed by
an authorized dealer. In the event that
you experience a malfunction when
operating the power convertible top:1.

Convertible Top Operation and Warn-
ing Messages.” If applicable, perform
the related action to correct the condi-
tion present.
3. If Steps 1 and 2 do not resolve the
problem, refer to “Emergency Bypass
Mode”.
WIND STOP
The Wind Stop installs in the backseat
area of the vehicle. The Wind Stop
will not interfere with power top op-
eration. Therefore, it can remain in-
stalled when the top is up. However,
when not in use, the Wind Stop folds
to allow for convenient storage under-
neath the cargo shield in the trunk.
NOTE: It is recommended that
you lower the convertible top be-
fore installing or removing the
Wind Stop. Installing The Wind Stop
1. Remove the Wind Stop from the
trunk.
2. Unfold the Wind Stop framework.
3. Lay the small frame (1) flat on top
of the large frame (2) and snap the
two frames together by engaging the
frame lock (3).
NOTE: The frames must lie flat
on each other in order to snap
them together.

CAUTION!To avoid damage to the mirror dur-
ing cleaning, never spray any clean-
ing solution directly onto the mirror.
Apply the solution onto a clean cloth
and wipe the mirror clean.OUTSIDE MIRRORS
To receive maximum benefit, adjust
the outside mirrors to center on the
adjacent lane of traffic and a slight
overlap of the view obtained from the
inside mirror.
NOTE: The passenger side con-
vex outside mirror will give a
much wider view to the rear, and
especially of the lane next to your
vehicle.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in
the passenger side convex mirror
will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too
much on your passenger side con-
vex mirror could cause you to col-
lide with another vehicle or other
object. Use your inside mirror when
judging the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the passenger side
convex mirror.
POWER MIRRORS
The power mirror switch is located on
the driver's door trim. A rotary knob
selects the left mirror, right mirror or
off position. After selecting a mirror, move the
knob in the same direction you want
the mirror to move. When finished,
return the knob to the center “O”
(Off) position to guard against acci-
dentally moving a mirror position.
HEATED MIRRORS
These mirrors are heated to
melt frost or ice. This feature is
activated whenever you turn
on the rear window defroster. Refer to

prompted by the Uconnect™ Phone.
For best results, the Voice Training
session should be completed when the
vehicle is parked with the engine run-
ning, all windows closed, and the
blower fan switched OFF.
This procedure may be repeated with
a new user. The system will adapt to
the last trained voice only. To restore the Voice Command system
to factory default settings, enter the
Voice Training session via the above
procedure and follow the prompts.
Reset
Press the
button.
After the “Ready” prompt, and the following beep, say “Setup”, then
“Reset”.

factory settings.
Voice Command
For best performance, adjust the rearview mirror to provide at least
½ in (1 cm) gap between the over-
head console (if equipped) and the
mirror.
Always wait for the beep before speaking.
Speak normally, without pausing, just as you would speak to a person
sitting a few feet/meters away from
you.
Make sure that no one other than you
is speaking during a voice period. Performance is maximized under:
low-to-medium blower setting,
low-to-medium vehicle speed,
low road noise,
smooth road surface,
fully closed windows,
dry weather conditions.
Even though the system is designed for users speaking in European
English, Dutch, French, German,
Italian, or Spanish accents, the sys-
tem may not always work for some.
When navigating through an auto- mated system such as voice mail, or
when sending a page, at the end of
speaking the digit string, make sure
to say “Send”.
Storing names in the phonebook when the vehicle is not in motion is
recommended.
It is not recommended to store similar
sounding names in the Uconnect™
Phonebook.
