6. Tilt the driver’s seatback forward and press the
storage compartment release button located on
the underside of the tonneau cover (C) behind the
driver’s seat. Then raise the tonneau cover (C).
If the tonneau cover does not release and
three chimes are heard, check to make sure the
trunk lid is closed. Also, the cover will not release if
the vehicle alarm is turned on.
After pressing the release button, the driver’s and
passenger’s door glass should retract to the
full-down position.
If the vehicle has lost battery power, the tonneau
cover (C) can still be opened using the manual
release cable.
The cable is located underneath the carpeting
behind the passenger seat, in the center of
the vehicle. When using the manual release, first
open the doors to prevent damage to the seals. To
access the cable, lift and pull back the carpeting.
Then pull the cable to release the tonneau cover.
Notice: If you lower the convertible top into the
storage compartment and the rear edge of the top is
not in the full-down position, you could damage
the top. Always verify that the rear edge of the
convertible top is in the full-down position before
lowering the top into the storage compartment.
