instructions can potentially cause interference with pedal operation
causing loss of control of vehicle.

CONVERTIBLE (IF EQUIPPED)

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 lowered.

Lowering the convertible top

The convertible top can be lowered with the side windows down. The
windows will automatically lower when lowering or raising the top.

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

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

To lower the convertible top:

1. Bring vehicle to a complete stop. Key must be in the on position. It is
recommended that the vehicle’s engine is running when lowering the top
to prevent draining the battery.

2. Check the convertible top stowage compartment behind the rear seat
to be sure it is empty and ready to receive the top. Check the
convertible top outer surface to be sure it is free of leaves and 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.
