CAUTION! (Continued)
• Never attempt to lower a frozen convertible top.
Wait until the top is thawed before lowering it into
the stowage compartment. Lowering a cloth top at
temperatures below 32°F (0°C) should be avoided.
• Make sure the convertible top is dry before low-
ering it into the stowage compartment. Lowering
the top when damp, wet, or dirty can cause stains,
mildew, and damage to the inside of your vehicle.
• Make sure there is sufficient clearance of at least
7.5 ft. (2.2 m) for the top to move up.
• To prevent striking a low ceiling or automatic door
opener with the top, it is strongly recommended
that you do not operate the power top inside a
garage or parking structure.
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage
to the convertible top components, trunk contents,
and the vehicle interior.
CAUTION!
• Do not operate the power top with the hydraulic
pump valve open.
• Do not allow the top to remain in the suspended
position. After approximately 10 minutes in the
suspended position, the hydraulic pressure will
release, which will allow the top and the trunk lid
to lower. Pressing the power top switch will cancel
this operation.
• Always use a normal ice scraper to remove snow or
ice from the rear window. Use of a sharp object or
other tools could scratch the panels (hard top) or
tear the fabric (soft top) when removing snow or
ice.
