Park or shift a manual transmission
into Neutral. Set the parking brake.
The vehicle must be running or in the

and that the trunk partition is in the
fastened, upright position.

by pulling and turning it clockwise.
The driver’s and passenger’s side
windows will lower automatically.
4. Push and hold the bottom of the
power convertible top button located
on the left side of the instrument

the convertible top has lowered

Car Wash Guidelines
Automatic car washes are not recom-
mended. Some automatic car washes
will cause damage to your vehicle,
wheels, or convertible top, if equipped.
If you drive your vehicle through an
automatic car wash that does not have
enough clearance for the undercarriage
and/or wide rear tires, you could dam-
age your vehicle. Verify with the manag-
er of the car wash that your vehicle will
fit before entering the car wash. To avoid
possible damage, use touchless auto-
matic car washes.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

ment for additional information.
