Convertible Top (Power)
For care and cleaning of the convertible top see
Convertible Top on page 5-81 under “Service and
Appearance Care”. High pressure car washes may
cause water to enter the vehicle.
To operate the power convertible top use the
following steps.
Notice: Leaving the convertible top down and
exposing the interior of your vehicle to outdoor
conditions may cause damage. Always close
the convertible top if leaving your vehicle outdoors.
Notice: Lowering the convertible top when there
are objects in the storage area could damage
it or break the glass rear window. Always verify that
no objects are in the storage area before lowering
the convertible top.
Notice: Lowering the top if it is damp, wet, or dirty
can cause stains, mildew, and damage to the
inside of your vehicle. Dry off the top before
lowering it.
Notice: If you lower the top on your vehicle in cold
weather (0°F/-18°C or lower), you may damage
top components. Do not lower the convertible top in

Notice: If you raise or lower the convertible top
while the vehicle is in motion, you could damage the
top or the top mechanism. The repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Always put an
automatic transmission in PARK (P) or a manual
transmission in NEUTRAL before raising or lowering
the convertible top.

battery will drain and could be damaged. Always put
a manual transmission in REVERSE (R) before
