When raising the top, the system retracts the hard
tonneau cover back into its stowage area underneath the
trunk lid.

To complete either operation, the trunk lid returns to its
normal position and then latches.

Spring-loaded flipper doors, which provide clearance for
the linkage, close off notches in the quarter trim panels
when the top is up.

Power Convertible Top Usage Precautions

NOTE:

• The convertible top will not operate unless the vehicle

is stationary, the cargo protector is positioned cor-
rectly, and the trunk lid is closed and latched. In
addition, the system prohibits lowering the top when
ambient temperature is at 0°F (-18°C) or lower, How-
ever, the system allows you to raise the top at ambient
temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C).

• The Power Top Control Module (PTCM) monitors and

controls lowering and raising of the top. A series of
micro-switches verify that operations are complete
before allowing the next stage of lowering or raising
operation.

• Opening and closing the top consecutively without the

engine running may run the battery down.

• If a fluttering noise is heard from the rear seat belts

while driving with the top down, safely bring the
vehicle to a stop and buckle the rear seat belts over the
empty seats. This will keep tension on the seat belts
and remove the fluttering condition.
