OPENING THE CONVERTIBLE TOP

Note: Do not store articles behind rear seat. Articles stored in the
convertible top stowage compartment may break the rear glass window
when the top is opened.

Note: Opening the convertible top when the top material is wet may
cause mold or mildew.

The convertible top can be opened with the side windows down. The
windows will automatically lower when opening or closing the top.

The convertible top will not operate unless the vehicle is stationary or
traveling under 3 mph (5 km/h).

To open the convertible top:

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The ignition must be on. It is
recommended that the engine is running when opening the top to
prevent draining the battery.

2. Check the convertible top stowage compartment behind the rear seat
to be sure it is empty. Make sure the convertible top outer surface is free
of debris.

Note: The latch handles must be
pulled downward fully to allow the
latch to fully rotate into the open
position.

3. Unclamp the top from the windshield header by pulling each latch
handle down and then rotating the latch to the rear until it clears the
header.

Note: If the top has not been opened for some time and sticks to the
windshield header, push the front of the top up slightly with your hand
to loosen it.
