If so equipped.
For vehicles not equipped with the EVIC.
The PTCM will lockout the power convertible top system if the vehicle charging system is malfunctioning, or the
battery is run down, or the hydraulic pump is overheating.
 If the vehicle charging system is malfunctioning, see your authorized dealer for service.
 If the battery is run down, have it recharged and tested at your authorized dealer.
 Hydraulic pump overheating can occur if you lower and raise the top consecutively (usually more than six or seven
times depending upon the ambient temperature). Wait at least five minutes before operating the power top again.
NOTE: If lockout occurs due to hydraulic pump overheating, the system will allow you to raise the top without waiting
five minutes. However, do so only if necessary.

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 vehicle.
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
approximately 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 Liters 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's elec-
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”.

JUMP-STARTING
PROCEDUREWARNING!
Failure to follow this procedure
could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery ex-
plosion.CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures
could result in damage to the
charging system of the booster ve-
hicle or the discharged vehicle.
1. Connect the positive (+)end of the
jumper cable to the remote posi-
tive (+)post of the discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the
positive (+)jumper cable to the posi-
tive (+)post of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end (-)of the
jumper cable to the negative (-)post
of the booster battery. 4. Connect the opposite end of the
negative
(-)jumper cable to the re-
mote negative (-)post of the vehicle
with the discharged battery.
WARNING!
Do not connect the cable to the
negative post (-)of the discharged
battery. The resulting electrical
spark could cause the battery to
explode and could result in per-
sonal injury.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that
has the booster battery, let the engine
idle a few minutes, and then start the
engine in the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery.
Once the engine is started, remove the
jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
6. Disconnect the negative (-)jumper
cable from the remote negative (-)
post of the vehicle with the discharged
battery. 7. Disconnect the negative end
(-)of
the jumper cable from the negative (-)
post of the booster battery.
8. Disconnect the opposite end of the
positive (+)jumper cable from the
positive (+)post of the booster bat-
tery.
9. Disconnect the positive (+)end of
the jumper cable from the remote
positive (+)post of the discharged ve-
hicle.
10. Reinstall the protective cover
over the remote positive (+)battery
post of the discharged vehicle.
If frequent jump-starting is required
to start your vehicle, you should have
the battery and charging system in-
spected at your authorized dealer.
