Raising the convertible top

The convertible top will not operate unless the vehicle is traveling
under 3.1 mph (5 km/h).

To raise the convertible top:

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

2. Push the convertible top switch, holding it until the windows lower
completely and the top unfolds and moves forward toward the
windshield header.

3. Open both handles before the top meets the windshield header.

4. Continue to use the convertible top switch to raise the top until it has
reached the fully closed position flush to the header.

Note: The two pins under the forward edge of the top should seat
themselves in the matching holes in the header.

5. To fasten both handles securely, rotate the driver’s handle into the
header on the top until it reaches full forward and push up to flush the
handle with the header. Pulling down on the header at the center grip
while closing the handle may assist in fastening the top. Repeat this step
for the passenger side handle.

6. Raise the front and rear side windows.
